Union general. War-dated ALS signed “Clark Wright, Col. U.S.A.,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 8 x 9.75, February 2, 1863. Letter to his wife Sallie. In part: “I am well and hearty, and enjoying myself in the best and most profitable manner…I have for several weeks been making myself acquainted with my own character and mind…My ideas, my memories, my dreams, crowd thick and confused upon me…I have often, even as a child, fancied that I was formed to do something in the world, but I have never steadily considered what it was to be, whether I was to become a man of books or a man of deeds, I have written poetry when it poured irresistibly from the fount of emotion.” Wright then proceeds to write an original five stanza poem entitled Night & Love, beginning, “The stars are in the…skies, There most I pine for thee.” In fine condition, with light show-through from text on reverse, and a bit of scattered light toning.
