FLAGG, COMPTROLLER, ALBANYAzariah Cutting Flagg (November 28, 1790 – November 24, 1873) was an American newspaper printer and editor, and politician.He was elected New York State Comptroller in 1833, a post he held in 1833-1839, and from 1842 to 1847, both times for two terms. In 1839, Van Buren, being a president, appointed Flagg as Postmaster at Albany; he kept the job until 1841. Van Buren recommended him in 1844 to newly elected James K. Polk as a candidate for secretary of the treasury office, but to no avail. After finally losing the state comptroller's position, Flagg became president of the Hudson River Railroad Company, was a treasurer of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad and served on several railroad boards. Flagg's final political office was New York City Comptroller, in which capacity he served in 1852-1858. He retired in November 1858 after developing blindness.Please look online for more information about this!The letter requests a Statement of TaxesSent by Dane H. Silcox, New YorkVery little wear.
