Confederate general (1813–1890). Bonham led the South Carolina army in 1861, moving up to brigadier general of the Confederate army in April of that year. The next year found Bonham a member of the First Regular Confederate Congress and, in 1863, assumed the role of Governor of South Carolina. When his term in politics expired, he rejoined the ranks as brigadier general and joined General Joseph E. Johnston’s army during the Carolina’s campaign in 1865. War-dated ANS signed “M. L. Bonham,” one page, 8 x 3.75, June 5, 1864, State of South Carolina, Executive Department, Columbia letterhead. Bonham writes, in full: “C. M. Furman Esqre, Charleston, SC, Have written you. I approve suggestions.” A central horizontal fold, light toning, and trimmed edges, otherwise fine condition. On June 2, 1864, Furman wrote Bonham a letter concerning the blockade-runners, Alice and Fannie, informing the governor that approval had been given for a third of their cargoes to carry “South Carolina” cotton rather than solely Confederate cotton. Furman also makes mention that he “may be able to get the Chicora or one of the other companies to enter into the arrangement in place of the Fannie.” Fantastic and exceptionally rare reference to blockade-running.
