Union general (1831–1888) whose cavalry command blocked Lee’s escape at Appomattox. ALS signed “P. H. Sheridan,” one page both sides, 5 x 7, August 2, 1874. Letter to Secretary of War William Belknap. In full: “Genl Miles is already in command of the expedition to the Indian Territory. Genl Pope asked me some time ago if I had any officers to which I explained that I would be delighted to have him go in command.” A central vertical fold, through a single letter of signature, a few light creases, an ink notation and moisture spot to first page, and mounting remnants to reverse of second integral page, otherwise fine condition. Miles would lead many campaigns against the American Indian tribes in the Great Plains, including a defeat of the Comanche. An interesting letter with great association between four esteemed Union commanders.
