PORTER, FITZ JOHN
(1822 - 1901) Union major general who fought at Antietam and Second Bull Run. He was later accused by Pope for ""disobedience and disloyalty"" and was relieved. A.L.S. ""F. J. Porter"" 2pp. 8vo., New York, Dec. 22, [n. y.] to Sen. William Sewell, in part: ""àas for Logan, should he howl, I think it best to let him utter his speechàsilence would kill him. The Phil. Times (weekly) of today has a good fling - 'For President - Logan; Vice Pres't. F. J. Porter. Music by two cats in a bag'. I think it should have been - two cats tied together over the same clothes line. Every effort is being made to have a large Republican vote in the House and an increase in the Senateà"". Very good.
