Confederate general. ALS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 6.75, March 23, 1914. Letter to F. H. Meserve. In part: “I have postponed answering…because I had some trouble to persuade my wife to part with the last photo she has, taken in my generals uniform. It is the worst I had of six or seven—I promised that you were not like newspaper men, whose promises are made to be broken & so this morning she handed it to me—when you return it please address it to Mrs. R. D. Johnson…While you are wrapped in a mantle of snow, we are…wrapped in a mantle of beautiful sunlight with the air touched by the glint of spring—my roses are in leaf and early flowers are blooming—don’t you wish you had a taste of the sunny south this morning?” In fine condition. Accompanied by an unsigned original matte-finish 2 x 3.25 photo of Johnston in uniform.
