Washington, D.C., February 5, 1841. Paper Seal of the War Department at upper left. Patriotic vignettes of an eagle with wings spread at top center and flags, weapons, cannon balls, military accouterments, and a drum across the bottom. Appointment of William Wall “as Assistant Quarter Master with the rank of Captain.” William Wall (1808-1847), West Point Class of 1832, served on the 1832 Black Hawk Expedition. As Second Lieutenant, Wall then served in operations in Creek Nation (1836), in the Florida War (1836-1838), and in the Cherokee Nation (1838) while transferring them to the West. At the time of the appointment here offered, Wall was on quartermaster duty in the Florida War (1841-1842). In the Mexican War, Captain Wall of the 3rd Artillery was engaged in the Battle of Cerro Gordo, April 17-18, 1847. He was only 39 at his death on August 13, 1847, at Puebla, Mexico. Joel R. Poinsett (1779-1851) was sent to South America by President James Madison in 1809 to investigate the prospects of the revolutionists there in their struggle for independence from Spain. He later served as the first U.S. Minister to Mexico (1825-1829). An accomplished amateur botanist, Poinsett brought a flower back from Mexico that was renamed the “poinsettia” in his honor.
