Civil War-dated ALS signed “P. H. Sheridan,” one page, 5 x 8, February 14, 1864. Letter to Captain Dickerson. In full: “Trains are now coming in with forage & supplies to transport them across the river here. With our present means is a big contract. Have you ordered a steamer for ferrying purposes? It will require additional trains from Knoxville here.” Mounted and framed with a color engraving of Sheridan to an overall size of 19 x 17. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, a uniform shade of toning, rusty paperclip marks and impressions to the top, and some brushes to the ink. In March, Sheridan would be summoned away by Grant—the newly appointed commanding general of all Union armies—to command the Cavalry Corps of the Army of the Potomac. Sheridan was not yet nationally known, and it was this opportunity that allowed him to become a figure of great renown. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
