ALS signed “J. A. Early,” one page, lightly-lined, 5.75 x 7.5, embossed letterhead, June 7, 1888. Early writes, in full: “I have not an extra copy of the pamphlet containing my address on the campaign against Pope in 1862–it was delivered in Baltimore Md for the benefit of the Confederate Survivors Association of Maryland; and by writing to General Bradley T. Johnson at Baltimore Md, you can obtain a copy.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, light creasing, and a couple of tears through a portion of the text repaired from behind.
On February 22, 1883, Early attended the first annual meeting of the Association of the Maryland Line at the Academy of Music in Baltimore. At the meeting, the group’s president, General Bradley T. Johnson, outlined the mission of the organization which was first, to collect materials regarding the history of Maryland men in the Confederate Army and secondly, to provide a home for the old and infirm Rebel veterans who received no pensions or bounties from the government. This annual get-together featured Jubal Early as the featured speaker, and he offered an address on the Confederate Campaign against the newly appointed commander of the Army of Virginia in 1862 which was published by Foley Brothers Printers in 1883.
The address covered Jackson's strategy during the Second Battle of Bull Run (August 28-30) in which the Confederate Army handily defeated Pope's army under the command of Robert E. Lee. Pope, who had been convinced that he trapped Jackson, threw the bulk of his Union forces against him, unaware that Longstreet's 25,000 men joined Jackson's right flank. He ordered Porter to attack A.P. Hill's depleted forces on Jackson's left to deliver the final blow, but Porter received the message late and instead Kearny launched a fierce attack as Early's unit arrived just in time to reinforce Hill's troops positioned at Stony Ridge. Early jumped into the counterattack, helping to drive back the Union forces and opening the way for the Confederate offensive which crushed the Army of Virginia, pushing them back to Bull Run in the largest mass attack of the war.
