Career army officer who served in the Mexican-American War, as a Confederate general in the Civil War, and as a postbellum general in the Imperial Mexican Army. Florid ALS signed “J. Bankhead Magruder,” two lightly-lined pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, April 23, 1867. In a letter to William Hughes, Magruder writes, in part: “I have this moment received your kind note and will call upon you at Mr. Cook’s with great pleasure—I received in St. Louis a loving & effectionate [sic] letter from my old friend Wm. Hughes, which was intended to reach me in…Louisville & thence to St. Louis & I would have answered it but that I expected to return…to do so in person. I find however that I must go to…Texas in a few days. I must postpone the pleasure of a visit to West River until my return.” Light toning, show-through from writing on the second integral page, and mounting remnants along the hinge on the reverse of the second integral page, otherwise fine condition.
