Kentucky-born Union general (1822–1892) who led the Army of the Mississippi in a campaign that opened the great river nearly to Memphis. His failures after the Peninsular Campaign and at Second Bull Run in August 1862 precipitated his replacement by General George McClellan. ALS signed “Jno. Pope,” two pages on two lined adjoining sheets, 7.75 x 9.75, Headquarters Department of the Missouri letterhead, October 31, 1871. Letter to General A. S. Williams. In part: “I accept with great pleasure the invitation to be present as a guest at the meeting of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland…I have been anxious to attend…to testify my grateful feeling for the kind consideration which has always been shown me by its members & by that Army generally.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature, scattered toning and soiling to the borders, and small cuts to the left edge.
