Generally Fine. [18] Est. 100-200 518 Civil War: Edward Hatch Civil War Union general (1832-99); participated in Grierson’s raid into Mississippi; opposed NB Forrest in Tennessee; an Indian fighter after the war. ALS “Edward Hatch / Bt. Major Genl. / USA,” 1-3/4 pages, 4to, St. Louis Depot, January 4, 1873. He thanks US Secretary of War WW Belknap “for the kindness...in giving us this delightful station, also for the consideration shown me...It is the hope of the Army as well as the Country at large, that you retain the present position...” in US Grant’s second term, which was to begin in March. Inlaid to slightly larger sheet. Light toning, VG. Belknap did keep his position, but was successfully impeached in 1876 for corruption. (photo - page 60) Est. 200-300 519 Civil War: David Hunter Union general (1802-86); put in charge of the Southern Department, he proclaimed the slaves in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina emancipated, creating a furor in Washington; defeated at Lynchburg by Jubal Early in 1864, after which he retired from the service. Choice Seminole War-era Autograph Letter Signed “David Hunter / Paymaster,” 1 page, 4to, Fort Smith, Arkansas, October 19, 1842. He writes Paymaster General Nathan Towson, “I have the honor to enclose you my Monthly Statement for Sep. ‘42: also a letter, with its enclosure, for the Second Auditor of the Treasury [none present]. I have made the payment here, and shall leave for Gibson [Arkansas] tomorrow, if the Quartermaster has the transportation...” Partial separation at fold, small pin hole, otherwise VG. Both Hunter and the Confederate general who would end his career, Jubal Early, served in the Second Seminole War, another example of Civil War opponents who had been comrades-in-arms. Est. 100-250 520 Civil War: Wesley Merritt Union general (1836-1910); led cavalry at Gettysburg; served with with distinction under Sheridan in the Shenandoah and Appomattox Campaigns; superintendent of West Point; led US ground forces in the Battle of Manila, becoming governor-general of the Philippines. Interesting ALS “W. Merritt,” 3 pages, 8vo, on stationery of the Grand Hotel, NY, June 16, 1891. He writes an unnamed general that “I...would gladly underatake the work and try to do justice to the life of my old Chief for whom my respect increases as time goes on, but I can promise nothing this summer” because of his wife’s illness. He suggests Gen James H Wilson or Col Fred C Newhall instead. Even age-toning, VG. Merritt served in only one campaign alongside both James H Wilson and Fred C Newhall; that was in the Shenandoah Campaign, leaving little doubt that the “old Chief” he refers to is Philip H Sheridan, who had died in 1888. (photo - page 60) Est. 200-300 521 Civil War: Collection Choice selection of items including an early Secession Letter, 2 pages, 4to, Lynchburg, VA, April 30, 1861, lamenting how “War and all its demoralizing consequences reign here. Troops throng the streets - and are as you well know many seeking the army are vicious & careless of consequences and in fact crimes they suppose are to be tolerated such times as these. Several murders in Baltimore other than the engagements with those troops have occurred, some in Washington. Last week here as Senator [future President Andrew] Johnson of Tennessee passed through he barely escaped with his life for his Union sentiments...” With three Soldier’s Letters by Henry Caryl at Ft Marshall in Baltimore, August 10-September 14, 1864. He writes his mother and sister in Charlestown, MA. There is little news from his position behind the front; his company drills in the Maryland countryside, frightening locals who think a battle must be brewing; like so many soldiers, he must combat illness and endure substandard food; he worries in the last letter that he will be sent to New York to enforce the draft, but “I should rather go to the front when I fight I do not want my head smashed with brick bats and paveing stones.” With a copy of the New York Times of May 29, 1863, with news of the ongoing investment of Vicksburg; Confederate forces reduced along the Rappahannock (said to be to stop their fishing, when in fact Lee’s forced had begun its swing around the Union right that would end in Gettysburg, PA just a month later); and rebel shipping depredations.
