Nate D. Sanders Auctions has sold the following Civil War memorabilia:
Thomas Stonewall’ Jackson autograph letter signed ”T.J. Jackson”, datelined 2 March 1863 from Caroline County, Virginia where the General kept his winter headquarters at Moss Neck Manor. Two months after this letter was written, Jackson was accidentally shot late at night during the Battle of Chancellorsville, reportedly mistaken by North Carolina 18th Infantrymen for Union cavalry soldiers. Letter is addressed to his former sister-in-law, Margaret Junkin Preston, an author and poet. His first wife, Ellie Junkin, had died nine years prior to this letter from complications during childbirth. Letter is personal with religious undertones, as Jackson was a devout Presbyterian, discussing his deceased wife, as well as the birth of his new daughter from second wife, Mary Anna Morrison. Reads in full: ”My Dear Maggie, Your very welcome letter with that for Julia has been received. I will give special attention to seeing that hers is forwarded. The aging of our dear Ellie, no mortal can estimate: but of one thing we are assured – she is one of the happy throng of the redeemed, which I hope that you and I will at God’s own time be privileged to join. What a blessed thought! To be with the just made perfect, where there are songs of everlasting rejoicing. To be with the celestial host, to ever dwell in the presence of God, where no sin can enter, where only happiness exists. To be like unto the glorified Redeemer. To love what eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man to conceive. When we think upon these things truly the cup of blessedness runs over. I am much obliged to you for your congratulations. Anna writes very cheering accounts of the little darling. Your affectionate brother…” 2pp. letter measures 5” x 7.75” on a single sheet of ruled stationery, with an uneven left edge, some show-through of ink and very slight smudge to Jackson’s signature. Also includes a portrait postcard of Jackson measuring 4” x 6” by William Garl Brown for framing. Very good to near fine condition. Sold for $14,351.

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”.

Gen.” Lastly, Secretary of War Edwin M.

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”.

General William Sherman autograph letter signed: ”W.T. Sherman / M.G.” on Military Division of the Mississippi Headquarters stationery. In a letter datelined ”In the Field, 4 miles S of Hickory Hill, 1 February 1865”, the infamous Civil War figure writes to General John Gray Foster: ”…I cannot modify my orders relative to General Saxton having the charge of recruiting blacks…I think the impression at Washington is that both you and I are inimical to the policy of arming negroes, and all know that Saxton is not, and his appointment reconciles that difficulty. If anything serious occurs correspond directly with Mr. Stanton…Let Grant know I am in motion, and telegraph to Easton that if Slocum has to wait for provisions it will be dead loss [sic], as we are eating up ours. Let Hatch continually feel the Salkehatchie, and the moment the enemy lets go, get the railroad broken back to the Edisto…” By this time in the war, approximately 10% of Union regiments were composed of black soldiers, and public opinion, including that held by officers and soldiers, had accepted the concept of arming former slaves in the war effort. This letter clearly shows that General Sherman was one of the remaining hold-outs in his opposition. Written in pencil, single page measures 7.75″ x 9.75″. Near fine. Sold for $9,582.

Robert E. Lee Letter Signed Battle of Chancellorsville
General Robert E. Lee letter signed, composed a week after Lee executed his “perfect battle” plan at Chancellorsville. In the face of overwhelming Union forces, Lee made the bold decision on 1 May 1863 to split his army, pitting a small force to defend Fredericksburg against the advance of Union General John Sedgwick, and using the remainder of his army to attack Union General Joseph Hooker’s forces. The strategy was so effective that Lee divided his army a second time on 2 May, allowing General Stonewall Jackson to rout the Union’s XI Corps, and causing Hooker to hesitate before ultimately withdrawing his forces. Indeed, the battle was so perfectly executed that many believe it led to Lee’s hubristic decision to pursue the Union army north, leading to the Battle of Gettysburg, which completely altered the course of the Civil War. Sold for $7,873.
