<B>Major General John Sedgewick Autograph Letter Signed</B></I> "<I>John Sedgewick Maj. Gen.</B></I>". On Sixth Army Corps letterhead, two pages, 8" x 10", Culpepper, Virginia, December 1, 1863, to Col. Eli Long. It reads in part: "<I>…anything I can do for you in the way of your promotion will be most cheerfully done. I do not think any new regiments will be raised…the tendency I think is to…rely on volunteers…it is impossible to obtain recruits for the old regiments, so long as states pay such large bounties…</B></I>". The letter has minor age toning and some moderate foxing, otherwise very good. Sedgewick (1813-1864) was a Union major general wounded at Antietam and Glendale, found at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, and was killed by a Confederate sharpshooter while claiming that the Confederates wouldn't be able to hit an elephant at such a distance.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Flat (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
