Lynde family: correspondence, 1862 - 1902

An honorable discharge certificate for Frederick Marcy Lynde (July 31, 1862); a letter from Lynde to the Postmaster General requesting his military longevity pay be established (September 26, 1878); a letter from his brother Charles J. Lynde (July 26, 1886); two letters from lawyer Joseph W. Stryker regarding Lynde's case for longevity pay (August 12, 1887 and May 29, 1888); and other materials surrounding his owed longevity pay and pension (1890-1902).

There are also several letters from the United States Land Office regarding an accusation by Jacob A. Spencer that Lynde "wholly failed to comply with the law, as to either residence, cultivation, or improvement" of a tract in St. Johns County, Florida (June–December 1888). The land was seemingly restored to the public domain.
