MCPHERSON, JAMES B.
(1828 - 1864) Union major general who fought in Grant's Tennessee campaigns, let the right wing at Vicksburg, and was killed in battle at Atlanta. A.L.S.1p.4to. on blue paper, West Point, New York, Feb. 4, 1854 as a Second Lieutenant of the Engineers, to one John Earle enclosing a draft for $84.75: "...which is the balance remaining due on my note … I should have sent you the check before but have been on leave of absence in Ohio … and could not procure it without a great deal of trouble…". An very nice example, very good to fine.
