Confederate general (1807–1891) who, when Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861, resigned his commission as a brigadier general in the regular army—the highest-ranking US officer to do so. Initially commissioned as a major general in the Virginia militia, he relieved ‘Stonewall’ Jackson’s command at Harper’s Ferry and organized the Army of the Shenandoah. LS signed “J. E. Johnston,” one page, lightly-lined, 7.5 x 9.25, January 19, 1861. Letter to Lieutenant Colonel John Monroe. In part: “Your letter of the 12th Ulto relative to a disallowance of the transportation of your servant, $61 paid…of Lt. S. D. Lee’s accounts has been received. As there is no authorization in this Office to allow the accounts, your letter will be submitted to the Secretary of War, as requested by you.” Letter is affixed to a slightly larger off-white sheet and framed to an overall size of 11 x 13.5. In fine condition, with scattered light creasing and wrinkling.
