LS, one page, lightly-lined, 7.75 x 9.75, War Department letterhead, January 12, 1867. Letter to Brevet Brigadier General George Williamson Balloch. In part: “I have received the beautiful present of photographic views of Sherman’s Campaign and battle fields, and have looked the book through, with all the interest of one who participated in the events portrayed, and I may say, that no gift could have been more acceptable to me for its intrinsic value.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature), and a few light creases. Howard is most likely referring to a book released in 1866 entitled Barnard's Photographic Views of the Sherman Campaign, which today sells for tens of thousands of dollars.
