GRANT AND SHERMAN COMBINED AUTOGRAPHED NOTE SIGNED ALONG WITH CABINET CARD PHOTOGRAPHS and MONOGRAPH.

GRANT AND SHERMAN COMBINED AUTOGRAPHED NOTE SIGNED ALONG WITH CABINET CARD PHOTOGRAPHS and MONOGRAPH. A nice opportunity to own a note passed from U.S. Grant, then President, to W.T. Sherman, Secretary of War along with other related ephemera. The autograph note is penned on a 7” x 7 ½” folio first by President Ulysses S. Grant reading: “The bearer is referred to the Secretary of War to ask if he can give a clerkship to a soldier who lost a leg in the service of one of the bureaus of the War department.” Signed “U.S. Grant Oct. 18/69”. Sherman responds on the same side of the note “Oct. 19, 69, Gen’l Meigs-please give this man an examination with reference to an arm of the Bureau-now existing”. Signed “W.T. Sherman, Secy of War”. The letter is further endorsed by a clerk. The ANS has been mounted to an old album leaf. Accompanying this important piece of Presidential correspondence is a first edition of Sherman and His Campaigns, published by Bowman and Irwin in 1865 and two cabinet cards of Generals Grant and Sherman-in uniform (one published by Gutekunst-Phila.-the other unmarked). A very nice combination of items related to two remarkable former Union commanders who served each other in the post-war years as President and Secretary of War. CONDITION: All of the items are in good to very good condition. Autographed note from Grant and Sherman is very clear but in need of dismounting and conservation from its acidic album page. First edition book is good with slightly soiled covers and some foxing. Cabinet card photographs retain good contrast with light trimming and staining here and there. 4-59034, 4-59035 (2,000-3,000)
