Civil War-dated handwritten endorsement, signed “W. T. Sherman, Maj. G. Comdg,” on the reverse of the second page of a two-page ALS by Colonel Jno. Corse, dated July 30, 1863. Corse’s letter reads, “I respectfully recommend that 2d Lt. Geo. W. Holmes Co. A. be commissioned as Capt of Co. K. vice Cowles resigned; for conspicuous gallantry on the field before Jackson Miss. on the 16th inst. Lt. Holmes crossed an open field in the face of two batteries and two regiments of Infantry and with a Copl & two privates bore the body of Capt. Minton to a place of safety. For this act of heroism in connection with his uniform good conduct in the various actions during the advance on Jackson Miss. I respectfully request that he be transferred and commissioned as above recommended.” On the reverse of the second page, Sherman writes, “approve the within and recommend the promotion asked for the reasons assigned by Genl Corse.” Another panel on the reverse of the second page bears an endorsement from General Hugh Ewing which reads, “Approved & respectfully forwarded Hugh Ewing Brig Gen Comdg Div." In very good condition, with scattered toning and soiling to endorsed page, small ink notation touching a single letter of Sherman’s endorsement, expected folds and handling wear, and tape reinforcement to hinge. An intriguing and graphic war-dated endorsement.
