Union general (1816–1870) whose most decisive victory earned him the sobriquet ‘Rock of Chickamauga.’ War-dated ALS signed “Maj. Genl. Geo. H. Thomas,” one page both sides, 5.25 x 8.25, Headquarters Department of the Cumberland letterhead, April 5, 1864. General Thomas writes from Chattanooga, in full: “I received your note of the 26th Ult. yesterday. That portions of the sentence awarded Capt. K [the rest of the name covered in ink] by the Court relating to confinements has been submitted. There can be no objection to his being ordered to Washington if by going there he can be induced to abstain from dissipation. It is much to be regretted, but I fear there is vastly too much dissipation in our army where constant watchfulness and perfect coolness should be experienced to the fullest extent.” A few trivial areas of smudging to the text, a pencil notation to the top right corner, and some mild pooling to the signature, otherwise fine condition. Intriguing content from the ‘Sledge of Nashville.’
