This folder on Appointments Federal comes from the Correspondence series of the Governor Thomas Carney Papers. Thomas Carney was Kansas' second state Governor, serving from 1863 to 1865. He was born near Tipton, Delaware County, Ohio in 1824 and came to Kansas in search of better health care and new business opportunities. Thomas Carney and his business partner Thomas C. Stevens were the first to open a wholesale house in Leavenworth, Kansas. This file contains letters from potential prospects written to the governor concerning open appointments. There are also letters written to the governor from individuals on behalf of another person, recommending them for a position. First, is a letter from C K Holliday requesting the appointment of Governor of Dakota Territory. There is also a follow-up letter from C K Holliday again calling the governor's attention to appointing him the position as Governor of Dakota Territory. Next, is a letter from H. W. Martin requesting a position for Dr. Fletcher, that does not require him to go into the army.
