Brigadier General of the Confederate Provisional Army (1818–1893) who commanded the forces at Charleston, where he ordered the bombardment of Fort Sumter. Handwritten endorsement, signed “Recd. at N.O. Augt 13th 1865 G.T.B,” at the bottom of the second page of Beauregard’s copy of a letter from William T. Sherman. (the copy of Sherman’s letter was secretarially written and signed.) Sherman was responding to Beauregard’s letter requesting his personal papers and effects that were seized during the Civil War. The two-page letter measures 7 x 8.5 on two lightly-lined off-white sheets reads, in part: “I have sent both to Genl Hoffman at Washington with this Endorsement … ‘they should be returned to him as something too small for a great Government to notice ….’” He suggests other channels he might pursue and concludes: “…all conventions should be religiously kept, for on them are based the most Sacred Rights of War and consequent Peace.” In fine condition, with slight separations along intersecting folds to letter, one through a couple letters of endorsement, uniform toning to both pages, and minor paper loss to top left corner of second page.
