Maine-born Union major general (1828–1914) who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his defense of Little Round Top at Gettysburg. ALS signed “J. L. Chamberlain,” one page, lightly-lined, 5 x 8, April 1, 1881. Letter to Francis Edward Clark. In part: “I will try to be with you, but please do not announce me for an address in a way to excite expectation. Would it be best to announce a subject in that view? I am inclined to think ‘Congregationalism as a power in the Community’ needs a little bracing. It seems to me we have fallen off a little in our effectiveness in that regard.” In fine condition, with a mild band of toning to the right edge of the first page. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
