American military officer and statesman (1826–1886) who fought in the Mexican-American War and the Civil War. An activist on behalf of veterans’ affairs, Logan was instrumental in the creation of Memorial Day as a public holiday. ALS, one page, lightly-lined, 7.75 x 10.25, House of Representatives letterhead, February 25, 1868. Letter to Francis De Grass. In part: “Unfortunately I can help no one just now, the present administration being opposed to every one whom I endorse…I am very highly gratified to hear of your prosperity and happiness and am always gratified to hear such sentiments of contentment and cheer from my old military family…Affairs here at present are mixed but hope soon that they will have settled down.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds. At the time he wrote this letter, Logan was involved with the impeachment proceedings against Andrew Johnson.
