Author of The Lieber Code and The Code for the Government of Armies in the Field, the latter becoming the foundation from which wartime conduct amongst troops was built (1800–1872). ALS, one page, 7.75 x 10, embossed letterhead, November 9, 1848. Lieber writes, in part: “You had the kindness to give my Queries, regarding state constitutions, to a gentleman from N. York, with whom I had a conversation at Washington before I went to Europe in June last, and who wrote me a letter to the city of N. York. I own to my shame that I cannot recover his name even after repeated trials to do so…in Germany a whole new layer of perceptions and associations was superinduced in my mind…will you do me the favour of restoring it?” Intersecting folds, light toning, one passing through a single letter of the signature, a rough left edge, a small area of paper loss to the bottom left corner, a repaired tear to the top left corner, pencil notations to the same corner, and light show-through from collector’s notations on the reverse, otherwise very good condition.
