THOMPSON, M. JEFF
(1826 - 1876) Confederate raider who commanded a brigade in Missouri and threatened to retake New Orleans from Union forces. Fine A.Q.S. on a 24mo. card, New Orleans, July 27, 1874, in full: ""I have no time now to hunt up old and useless documents for my authority on the Confederacy was based upon my Missouri Commission, letters from Superior officers and the love and valor of the soldiers. M. Jeff Thompson once Brigadier General now Chief State Engineer"". A few tiny rust spots from an old paperclip have virtually no effect, else very good.
