I don’t know much of her formally, but she is said to be a ‘smart’ girl in every good sense. She is engaged to a first rate fellow, friend of mine...She will bring you other testimonials I suppose. I do not ask this of you as a personal favor; but only desire you to look at the young lady’s care & do her justice which is your habit.” The second, July 27, 1881, written as a letter of recommendation, in part: “I can cordially commend as a man of integrity and experience in business relations of various kinds Captain Augustus L. Smith now of Portland. He served with fidelity in the war for the Union, was afterward a very efficient clerk in the office of the secretary of state, and chief clerk in the ‘Adjutant General’s office...He was also for some time a Captain in our Maine volunteer militia...I regard Captain Smith as a true man, & deserving of confidence & favorable consideration.” The last letter, September 20, 1883, sent to Maine politician and lawyer William LeBaron Putnam, in part: “Not hearing from the Committee on the selection of a candidate for the Professorship of Philosophy, the Faculty, as the opening of the term is near at hand, have felt constrained to take some measures to provide for the instruction in that branch for the ensuing year. By their request I leave town today for Boston and perhaps other places to endeavor to find a suitable person.” In overall fine condition.

William Preston War-Dated Autograph Letter Signed on Jefferson Davis: "The President is looking thin, worn & much older" Brigadier general in the Confederate Army during the Civil War (1816-1887) who served as a Kentucky congressman and as the U.S. Minister to Spain.

Addressed from Richmond, a handwritten letter to Confederate general and former American Vice President John C. Breckinridge, in part: “On my return from Charleston to Columbia, I received an order from the Secretary to come here, & arrived in the midst of the excitement of the Raid. The members were arriving in hot haste, but the news of the battle, & the arrival of troops have restored tranquility...I have had a long talk with Wigfall. He is a great friend of Johnston's & foe of Bragg. He tells me Johnston wished the command of the Army & yet wishes it, but was unwilling to be put in the position of an inquisitor into his conduct, with the possession of his Army, if his account were unfavorable. Wigfall thinks the Prest. sent J. there with the right to command, if he would assume the responsibility of superceding Bragg...I think Bragg cannot retain the command...The President is looking thin, worn & much older, but is cool, resolute & apparently regardless of popularity, in pursuit of his purpose. He is the government. He did not touch in his conversation on affairs at Tullahoma, but Mrs. Davis afterward made amends by the way she pitched into Bragg, but not in ‘Jeff's’ presence.” In fine condition.

Sherman War-Dated Autograph Letter Signed: "Spies and Guerillas, murderers under the assumed title of Confederate Soldiers and deserters...should be hung quick" Civil War-dated ALS signed “W. T. Sherman, Maj. Gen. Comd'g,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 7.75 x 10, Head-Quarters Military Division of the Mississippi letterhead, April 6, 1864. Handwritten letter to Col. Joseph Holt, Judge Advocate General of the United States Army, insisting that commanders in the field have the authority to carry out executions where necessary, and that “I expect to execute a good many Spies and Guerillas under that Law without bothering the President...We all know that it is very hard for the President to hang Spies even after conviction, when a troop of friends follows the sentences with earnest and ex parte appeals. Spies and Guerillas, murderers under the assumed title of Confederate Soldiers and deserters...should be hung quick, of course after a Record trial: for the number of escapes made...during the long time between trial and reference have made this Class of Men bold & dangerous. Our own scouts and detachments have so little faith in the punishment of known desperados that a habit is growing of ‘losing prisoners in the Swamp,’ the meaning of which you know...I believe that the veriest demon should have a hearing & trial, but punishment should be prompt & speedy, or it loses all efficacy.” In fine condition. As a brigadier general in Missouri, Ulysses S. Grant was ordered by Maj. Gen. John C. Fremont to start an intelligence organization. Grant came to understand the power of intelligence and later made Brig. Gen. Grenville M. Dodge the head of his intelligence operations that covered an area from Mississippi to Georgia and included as many as one hundred secret agents. Per the American Battlefield Trust: ‘During the American Civil War, both the Union and the Confederate governments relied on espionage during wartime. Both citizens and soldiers participated in providing information, including military and political details and secrets. If caught, the spy faced punishments such as jail or death by hanging. Although most spies were civilians and met jail time, many were court-marshaled and faced death. Soldiers like Sam Davis and citizens like Timothy Webster died for their cause and were seen as heroes for their respective sides.’
