Confederate general (1821–1904) who distinguished himself at Bull Run, Fredericksburg, and Chickamauga. ALS, one page, lightly-lined both sides, 5.5 x 9, Piedmont Hotel letterhead, June 1, 1880. Letter to Senator, and future Supreme Court Justice, L. Q. C. Lamar. In full: “The papers report opposition to my confirmation in your Honroable Senate. I desire to say that any charges that may be brought against me, save that I am an honorable Republican are false and I can so prove them and those who make them know them to be false. Otherwise they would long ago have made them before a civil tribunal. You are reported, by the papers, as favorable to the confirmation. It is therefore due you that I should make this assurance.” Small separations along fragile horizontal folds, uniform toning, scattered creases and wrinkles, and pencil notations to back, otherwise very good condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
