Description

Union general (1815-1872), known as 'Old Brains,' who, despite his administrative skill as general in chief, failed to achieve an overall battle strategy for Union forces. Lincoln once described him as 'little more than a first rate clerk.' AES signed “H. W. Halleck,” one page, 3.5 x 3.25, June 8, 1865. The handwritten endorsement, in full: “If there is no other charge than selling liquor against this man, let him be released.” Affixed to a slightly larger cardstock mount and in fine condition, with light soiling and edge toning.
