ALS, one page both sides, 5.5 x 8.5, June 18, 1888. Handwritten letter expressing his interest in attending the Bull Run reunion. In part: "It will give me pleasure to join in the Bull Run Reunion next year…General J. E. Johnston should be president of the occasion. The Governor of Virginia should make the address of welcome and General Sherman should respond. General Beauregard will go I suppose and should be invited to speak and some other prominent officer from the other side who was there. There will be enough in the way of speakers and ceremonies at least it so seems to me. I shall need a ticket going and coming, as I may not be in condition to attend otherwise." In fine condition, with some short fold splits.
