War-dated ALS signed “Brother Jonathan Clayton,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, April 6, 1862. Clayton, a member of the 104th Pennsylvania Volunteers, first brigade, ‘Casey’s Division,” writes to his brother. In part (with grammar and spelling retained): ‘When I wrote the other I forgot to tell you about seeing the Monitor, the vessel that wipped the Rebel Merrimac, which sunk two of our vessels, some time back. All that you can see of her above water is a concern in the shape of a chease box, about ten or twelve feet in Diameter, which her guns works in, there was one man standing on her with a glass who appeared to be watching the mouth of the James River.” In fine condition, with some mild light toning and soiling. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
