Two items: ALS, signed “Joseph Wheeler,” one page, 7 x 8.5, April 16, 1903. Letter of response to Col. James Dunkins. In part, “I will start at work & do best I can on sketch of Gen. Polk. How many words would you recommend.”; and an unsigned eight-page handwritten manuscript, 8.5 x 15, no date. Manuscript reads, in small part, “On November 7 his troops crossed the Mississippi river and fought the battle of Belmont Missouri, the opposing force being commanded by General U. S. Grant. The advance of the federal forces from Paducah compelled the retirement of Gen. Polk’s troops from Columbus…At the battle of Shiloh Gen. Polk commanded the First Army Corps.” Scattered light toning and soiling, some fold separations, and tape reinforcement to horizontal folds of manuscript, otherwise very good condition.
