Union general (1818–1891) who commanded the guns of General Burnside’s army at Fredericksburg and the defenses of Washington south of the Potomac. War-dated ALS signed “G. A. DeRussy, Brig. Genl,” one lined page, 5 x 8, Headquarters Defences South of the Potomac, Arlington letterhead, November 20, 1863. DeRussy writes to Major Granville E. Johnson, in full: “By some singular detention your note of the 17th & its enclosure were handed to me only this afternoon. Captain Stipp is associated, in my mind, with one of the most gallant spirits of this war on whose staff he was ever prominent. I comply with pleasure with the Captain’s wish in the matter of autograph & hope that I may be called upon to assist his pleasure or ambition in some important manner.” A letter appears on the second integral page, written by Major Johnson to “K,” and signed by the major, in part: “Thinking the affixed might be agreeable to you coming as it does from a noble soldier.” In fine condition, with light toning.
