First Edition. Typed letter signed. 1pp, on Maddox's law office stationery; Sept. 6, 1908; seeking appointment to the Commission for the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park. 27 lines (ca 220 words); signed in full. With "Received" stamp of the Office of the Secretary of War, dated Sep 14, 1908; docketed on verso in Joseph G. Cannon's hand, with a ca. 100-word endorsement of Maddox's application.
