Henry I. King. ALS. 2pp. 5" x 8". Virginia. July 14 1861. An autograph letter signed Henry I. King penned just seven days before First Manassas, the first large land battle of the war: "it is Sunday morning and thinking you would like to hear from me I take this opportunity to write a few lines to you I cannot tell you where I am for I do not know the name of the Town we are in. We left Washington last Wednesday and came to Alexandria from there we went about five miles into the Enemy country where we have remained for a few days. I suppose you have read about Col. Elsworth [sic] I saw the house where he was killed his men are...now, they took five secessionists...We are about 10 miles from Fairfax Court House. Our Brigade is going to march this week we shall ahve a battle soon there are about 5000 Rebels with marked Batteries station[ed] there. We shall have some hard fighting but I feel that the God of Battle will give us the victory...Virginia is a beautiful country I could be contented to stay here...if I die for country you can feel that you had one son who was not afraid to die...". Elmer Ellsworth was the North's first martyr. A friend of Lincoln, Ellsworth saw the Rebel flag flying from a Virginia house, so he marched in and tore it down. As he came down the steps, he was shot by the house's owner and killed. The letter is in very fine condition overall with several horizontal folds. A great letter discussing the optimism of the first battle, which the Union lost.
