| William Tecumseh SHERMAN (1820-1891) Union General infamous for this “March to the Sea.”Good content Autograph Letter Signed “W.T. Sherman” as General of the Army, 2pp., 205 x 125 mm. (8 x 5 in.), St. Louis, 25 November 1884 on 912 Garrison Avenue letterhead, to Brooklyn Magazine editor Edward W. Bok* on his inability to write a tribute to the Reverend Thomas De Witt Talmage (1832-1902). Sherman writes, in full: “Your confidential letter is received and it surely will be most grateful to Mr. Talmage to possess the tribute you intend for him— I have never heard him preach a Sermon, nor have I ever to my Knowledge been in his Church— I have met him socially, and heard him Speak on such occasions. I am sure he is an Earnest and most Enthusiastic preacher, but I am not the person to bear witness thereto, as my observation has been most limited.”
Usual folds, extremely light toning, else very bright and clean and in fine condition. (EXA 4656) $750 |
