Quite scarce ALS signed “Z. Taylor, Lt. Col U.S. Army,” one page both sides, 7.75 x 9.75, July 6, 1825. Letter to General Thomas Jesup, Quartermaster General of the US Army. In part: “I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your letter…in reply to that part of it which relates to my having the clothing sent to Natchez for the very service envisioned to this place, I have only to state that previous to my doing I received an order from the adjt Genl to send Capt Young with all the recruits he has enlisted…to order Lt Wash to this place & break up the rendezvous—Knowing how liable public clothing left in charge of citizens was to be destroyed, particularly in Southern climates & pressuring from the order referred to that it was not probable a…rendezvous would be opened at that place for at least some time, I thought it most advisable to direct Lt. Wash to bring with him the clothing.” Reverse of second integral page bears an address panel in an unknown hand. Tape repairs and reinforcement to intersecting folds, uniform toning to first page, and a paper loss to second page from missing wax seal, otherwise very good condition. At this point in his military career, Taylor was serving primarily in Washington, D. C., and recruiting duty, and it was not until several years later he became a national hero during the Indian Wars. Taylor letters from this early period of his military career are seldom seen, even more so chock full of military content.
