ALS signed “W. T. Sherman,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 8, Headquarters Army of the United States letterhead, July 30, 1875. Letter to his "Brother," in part: "I am just on the point of starting for Chicago and Geneva Lake Wisconsin where all my family is sojourning for the summer. I will be gone two weeks or at most twenty-days, when I will come back and stay here or hereabouts till the meeting at Des Moines Sept 29-30, when I surely come up to Des Moines. I did intend to take a short run out to Colorado and to Fort Bridger, but Genl. Sheridan has approved for leave to go to Oregon in August, and it will not do for us both to be absent. Especially when the Secretary of War is also away—I doubt if we will have a very large meeting…for it is far for most of the active members of the society to travel, and many of them will head back for the meeting at Philadelphia on the occasion of the Centennial." In fine, fragile condition, with splitting to the folds and hinge.
