Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston autograph letter signed ”J.E. Johnston”, dated 16 May 1865 from Charlotte, North Carolina, written soon after being released on parole by the Union Army. Also with three endorsements signed by Ulysses S. Grant, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and General John Schofield. Letter is addressed to General Schofield, just two weeks after Johnston surrendered his Army of Tennessee and still active rebel troops. After both parties agreed to military surrender, Johnston and Schofield negotiated supplementary terms, including his soldiers’ release, and here asks permission to travel to Canada. Reads in part: ”…As soon as the terms of ‘the convention’ are executed in Georgia & Florida, I wish to go to St. Catherine’s Springs, Canada. Will you be so kind as to inform me if I will be permitted to travel directly from Virginia to that point? Most respectfully / Your obt sevt / J.E. Johnston”. General Schofield endorses the letter on 16 May, the same day, ”Respectfully refered [sic] to Lt. Gen. Grant. J M Schofield Maj Genl.” Grant then endorses the letter on 22 May: ”I am very much in favor of granting Gen. Johnston’s request and if authorized will telegraph the authority at once. U. S. Grant Lt. Gen.” Lastly, Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton seeks approval from President Johnson: ”Submitted to the President who directs that the permission asked by General Johnson [sic] be granted with the condition that he does not return to the United States without leave of the President. Edwin M Stanton Sec of War.” Letter on one page measures 8” x 6.25”, matted with a portrait of Johnston to an overall size of 12.5” x 18.25”. Light toning and folds throughout; very good to near fine. A U.S. Grant autograph is rare dated during the Civil War or directly relates to the Civil War as this one does. Sold for $12,500.

Jefferson Davis Autograph Note Signed as Confederate President — Authorizing the Investigation of a Captain for Being Drunk — With Additional Autograph Note Signed by Judah Benjamin
Jefferson Davis autograph note signed on the verso of a letter, as Confederate President, dated 5 February 1862. Letter, written by Joseph Harris, is dated 30 January 1862 from Summerville, South Carolina. Here, Harris decries J.T. Montgomery, Captain of the Jeff Davis Flying Artillery, for being a drunk, and asks Davis to endorse a forced resignation of the Captain and for charges to be pressed. The Jeff Davis Flying Artillery, originally formed in Selma, Alabama in June of 1861, fought in most of the army’s major engagements including Antietam, Fredericksburg and Gettysburg. Letter reads in part, “Dear sir, Why is it that the Confederacy is stabbed & the Jeff Davis Flying Artillery is murdered by reinstating such a man as J.T. Montgomery. He is a broken down school-master & a drunken preacher…Montgomery has no fitness for the office…Montgomery has the imprudence, presumption & perseverance of Satan…Every friend of the Country implores you to remove the man & save the Company…” Davis’ endorsement, written lengthwise on verso, reads, “This letter contains charges which though general require attention / Let the case be referred to Genl. Johnston / Jeff. Davis”. The ink in both Davis’ endorsement and his signature is very light. Also includes an autograph note signed by Secretary of War Judah Benjamin, dated 5 February 1862: “Prefer charges against Capt. J.T. Montgomery…” Letter, measuring 8″ x 12″, runs two pages on lined paper, front and verso. Some showthrough from writing and minor foxing throughout, else near fine condition. Letter is housed in a 10.5″ x 15.25″ slipcase with cloth boards and a blue leather backstrip. Sold for $1,946.
