Union general (1813–1884) who led the engineer brigade at the Army of the Potomac. War-dated ALS signed “H. W. Benham,” one page, 7.75 x 9.75, embossed letterhead, August 3, 1861. Benham writes to the Honorable A. Gould from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in part: “Will you please inform me as early as convenient of the state your suits at Lyons so that I can make my report to the Probate Judge at Saginaw as I have to do by the 20th Inst. I have been with the army for the last three months and have not been able to bring up my papers as I would desire to nor has Judge Potter prepared and proposed to me a plan of division of the remainder of the real estate as he had promised me to do long ago, so we have not been able to close the proceedings as yet.” Intersecting folds, light toning, and a few trivial tears to the top and bottom edges, otherwise fine condition.
