ALS signed “W. T. Sherman, General, Cmdg, U. S. Army,” three pages on two adjoining lightly-lined sheets, 5 x 8, Headquarters Army of the United States letterhead, September 26, 1872. Sherman writes to a woman looking for her missing husband. In part: “There is no such person in the Army of the United State as F. F. Millen…On the supposition that he might have been in our Army during the Civil War, I have caused a search to be made but no such name occurs on any of the Master Rolls…I would like to aid you…but I can get no clue to the name at all. If in America, he may be a General of Militia in some of the States, in which the Militia he takes no account in our Army.” In very good condition, with heavy bisecting mailing folds and some scattered light foxing. R&R COA.
