ALS signed “W. T. Sherman Lt. Genl,” one page, lightly-lined both sides, 7.75 x 9.75, Headquarters Military Division of the Missouri letterhead, November 25, 1867. Letter to New York Governor Reuben Fenton. In part: “I cannot recall to mind the parties referred to in this letter, but admit a strong desire to help all of the Old 13th Infantry that was with me at Vicksburg. And if this man be in great need, I must help him, unless there be local means of relief. Will you be kind enough to let some gentleman near you take this letter and hunt up this man, and write to Mrs. Genl. W. T. Sherman here in St. Louis the facts…I must go to Washington next week, and will be absent at the time an answer would reach St. Louis & therefore I leave it to Mrs. Sherman who is even more inclined than I profess to be to help the men of the Old Battalion.” Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, mild toning to front, staple hole to top left and a trivial spot to body, otherwise fine condition. During the Civil War, the 13th Infantry earned its motto ‘First at Vicksburg.’ The 13th was the only Union unit to plant its colors on the Confederate positions.
