Unsigned handwritten endorsement on the final page of an apparently longer manuscript statement signed by Thomas Jordan, one page, 8 x 10.25, no date, addressed to General G. T. Beauregard in New Orleans, Louisiana. Jordan was also a newspaper editor and author. In part, “Neither in my memoir nor now have I sought to criticize the actions of General Johnston. He doubtless had his own reasons for the delay in deciding upon the point at which to assemble the Confederate forces under his direction. Doubtless, he desired meanwhile to be a little more certain than he was as to the ultimate plan of operations of the enemy upon that theatre of war. What happened however, is a part of the history of affairs in that quarter at that time, and I could not narrate them as they happened within my knowledge when called upon by you for a memoir of them.” Beauregard dockets the reverse on October 26, 1877 at New York, “Gen’l Thos. Jordan relative to Col. W. Preston’s note of Oct 10/77 denying certain facts or statements thereof contained in Gen’l J[ohnston]s narrative of events referring to the Shiloh Campaign of April 1862.” Jordan (1819-1895) was a Confederate spy and later a general in the CSA army during the American Civil War. A career soldier in the armies of three nations, he fought in numerous wars and rebellions in the United States, Mexico, and Cuba. Tape repairs and reinforcements to folds, small area of paper loss along one fold, scattered toning and soiling, and some light edge wear and tear, otherwise very good condition.
