Confederate general who replaced J.E.B. Stuart as Lee's Chief of Cavalry. ALS, one lightly-lined page both sides, 5 x 8, May 24, 1888. Interesting letter to a gentleman. In part, 'I should like to see the paper you refer to and I suppose that you 'in-sensed' - as the negroes say - the author of it! I am very sorry to hear that you still feel badly, but the baths up there will still restore you. I hope to perfect health.' In fine condition, with a light horizontal mailing fold through signature. RRAuction COA.
