War-dated ALS, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, November 4, 1862. Letter to Dr. Henry McSherry. In part: “Have heard as yet nothing from Martinsburg. McClellan’s army is said to be advancing, expect to be able to hear before a great while. It is the impression Lee will give battle near Winchester, at or near ‘Bunker Hill’…No news in Washington, save that they are removing patients from all the churches & Lincoln rides out with a body guard.” In fine condition, with some scattered light toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. RR Auction COA.
