Dear Ms. Bauer,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the series Applications and Recommendations for Public Office, 1797 - 1901 in the General Records of the Department of State (Record Group 59) that includes files which were microfilmed as National Archives Microfilm Publication M968: Letters of Application and Recommendation During the Administration of Ulysses S. Grant, 1869-1877 (69 Rolls). The pamphlet is available from the Microfilm Catalog. Once NARA reopens, you or your representative may view M968 in NARA’s Microfilm Reading Room (Room 4050) at the National Archives in College Park, MD.
These rolls also are available for viewing at the National Archives at Riverside, the National Archives in Washington, DC, the National Archives at Atlanta, the National Archives at Chicago, and the National Archives at Seattle.
In addition, the microfilm may be available via various libraries and is listed in WorldCat at: https://www.worldcat.org/title/letters-of-application-and-recommendation-during-the-administration-of-ulysses-s-grant-1869-1877/oclc/11334827&referer=brief_results
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!

Rebecca Bauer Nov 17, 2020 6:55 AM (in response to Shannon Kerner)Thank you for the insight. Much appreciated. I have a question, if either of you know. Where would I locate the original paper documents of the Letters of Application and Recommendation for all the U.S. Presidents?
