Est: $7,000 - $9,000
GRANT, Ulysses S. (1822 - 1885). Autograph letter signed ("U. S. Grant") as Lt. General, City Point, VA, 5 September 1864. Three pages, bifolium, 125 x 202mm, on Head Quarters Armies of the United States letterhead (separated folds and file holes filled in with tissue, one fold impacting signature). Grant thanks his retiring aide-de-camp for his services during "...the rebellion now being waged against free government." The general offers his highest recommendation for Lt. Orlando H. Ross, in a glowing acceptance of his resignation: "it gives me pleasure to bear testimony to the services you have rendered to the country through three years of the rebellion now being waged against free government. As Assistant Special Agent of the Post Office Dept., the Western Army was deeply indebted for the order and regularity established, more by your labor and energy than that of any other person, in conducting their Mail through a hostile country. In that capacity you excelled. It will afford me pleasure to recommend you for a similar position in the Civil service of the Government should you desire it. In all positions you have been placed in as Aide-de-Camp you have shown a commendable energy and zeal which if continued in civil life will make you friends and secure to you and family a competency through life. Bespeaking for your success and enjoyment after more than three years service in the tented field." Ross, who was also Grant's cousin, was appointed the special messenger at Grant's headquarters in 1861. Later that year, Ross would be placed in charge of military mail for the Army of the Tennessee, and in October 1862, Ross would be commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the 20th Illinois Infantry. Months later, he accepted a promotion to captain as part of Grant's staff, in which he served as Grant's aide-de-camp until his resignation in September 7, 1863. (Heitman) Grant's wartime correspondence was largely impersonal and purpose-oriented; his letters seldom revealed his innermost feelings or emotions, especially during the war period. Thus, written accounts of his motivations and aspirations for fighting for the Union are very rare and moving. We could not find another example of Grant's use of the phrase "free government" during the war years, and Grant used it very sparingly throughout his life, including during his 1870 message to Congress announcing ratification of the 15th Amendment and in his 1874 Thanksgiving Proclamation. This letter appears to be unpublished and does not appear in the Grant Papers. Sold with a carte-de-visite portrait photograph.

For 18 months Nelson lived in a ménage-à-trois with the Hamiltons, moving them at a time of trouble, along with the King and Queen of Naples to the relative safety of Palermo. It was here in 1798, not long after the present letter was written, that Sir William Hamilton began to be concerned by his wife’s drinking and increasingly indiscreet behaviour. It appeared to him that Emma was always at the gambling table with Nelson seated directly behind her, seemingly egging her on. These profuse habits led her into debt, with the money she would inherit upon the death of her husband and later, of Nelson, only leading to more gambling and extravagance. Hamilton would spend a year in prison for these debts, and upon her release in 1813, escaped her creditors in England for refuge in Calais. She died there in distress if not in want in 1815.

Henri HARPIGNIES (1819-1916) peintre. L.A., ornée de 5 dessins à la plume, Saint-Privé 30 août-18 septembre 1885, à sa mère ; 4 pages in-8. Amusante lettre illustrée racontant l'ouverture de la chasse. Il est « en costume de chasseur, prêt à partir. Mais il fait un temps à ne pas flanquer le chien à la porte [croquis] et avec cela un vent !!!!!!!!! Je ne suis plus jeune et je ne m'expose plus à de pareilles intempéries. Ce n'est plus comme en 1846. J'aime mieux m'asseoir & t'écrire [croquis] ». La pluie cesse et Harpignies dessine les chasseurs prêts à partir. Il parle des amis qui sont près de lui et avec qui il fait de la musique : « on joue ici en ce moment force musique de Bethoven et de Mozart » ; il dessine le quatuor. Le 10 septembre, il est allé chasser et se dessine : « j'ai tiré un seul coup de fusil, mais j'ai rapporté à ma femme un beau lièvre ». Trois de ses bons amis sont morts cette année, dont Duez. Il raconte pour finir une battue chez le marquis d'Harcourt.

MEADE, George Gordon (1815-1872), Major General. Autograph letter signed ("Geo. G. Meade"), to Brigadier General William Farrar Smith ("Baldy"), Head Quarters, Army of the Potomac, 11 December 1863. 3 pages, 8vo, integral blank. "IF YOU EVER HAVE THE MISFORTUNE TO GET COMMAND OF AN ARMY...I TRUST...YOU WILL HAVE BETTER LUCK THAN I HAVE FOUND" MEADE BLAMES HIS SUBORDINATES FOR HIS FAILURE TO PURSUE LEE'S ARMY AFTER GETTYSBURG. A most unusual letter of Meade, predicting he will "have my head cut off" and be retired in disgrace for his failure to exploit the Union victory and take advantage of Lee's flight. He thanks Smith for his his "complimentary notice of my official report of Gettysburgh. I regret very much that the paragraph referring to yourself & Crouch was not so satisfactory. I assure it was my desire to make it so....That you considered yourself removed from Genl. Couch's orders I was not aware of, as in fact Genl. Couch had by the news of the Genl. in Chief been placed under my orders with his whole command." He congratulates Smith on his success at Chattanooga, and adds "Before this reaches you, you will have learned of the unfortunate results of my late movements...I do not know whether the facts of the case will ever become public, but I may say here that what I considered well laid plans were frustrated by the slowness & incompetence of subordinates upon whose action their execution depended. I am in daily expectation of having my head cut off, and numerous scriveners assign as my successor one of the Generals now with you. I trust I shall be able to bear my retirement with as much fortitude & equableness as I have my elevation." For 10 agonizing days Lincoln hoped Meade would renew his attack: "If Gen. Meade can complete his work so gloriously prosecuted thus far, by the literal or substantial destruction of Lee's army, the rebellion will be over." But Meade had been badly shaken by the carnage and moved too slowly, allowing Lee to slip back into Virginia. "Our army held the war in the hollow of their hand," a distraught Lincoln complained, "and they would not close it!"

Maximilien-Sébastien FOY (1775-1825) général et homme politique. Manuscrit en grande partie autographe, 27 floréal-13 fructidor VII (16 mai-30 août 1799) ; cahier de 60 pages grand in-fol. et un petit cahier in-4 de 19 pages. Registre de correspondance avec plus de 175 minutes de lettres ou pièces (signé à la page 5). Il correspond à l'époque où Foy, chef d'escadron d'artillerie à cheval, servait sous les ordres du général Oudinot, commandant l'avant-garde dans l'Armée du Danube ; c'est au cours de cette campagne en Suisse que Foy fut nommé adjudant général chef de brigade provisoire (31 juillet 1799). On le suit ici de Frauenfeld à Winterthur, Würenlos, Regenstorff, Bellikon, et Urdorf, où il demeure à partir du 29 prairial (17 juin) ; parmi ses correspondants figurent les généraux Paillard, Gazan et de Lamartillière ; les futurs généraux de La Riboisière, alors directeur du parc d'artillerie de l'armée à Zurich, Hanicque, chef de l'état-major d'artillerie, et Taviel, commandant l'artillerie de l'aile droite, puis de l'aile gauche de l'armée, et le chef de brigade Ducheyron. Y figurent aussi une « Situation de l'artillerie existante et tableau de celle nécessaire pour la porter au complet », un état des chevaux d'artillerie existants et manquants à l'artillerie de la 4e division, et divers autres états du personnel et du matériel de l'artillerie. Citons-en quelques extraits : Bellikon 23 prairial (11 juin), au citoyen Despirre, quartier-maître trésorier du 2e d'artillerie légère : « nous avons été très malheureux. Ma seule compagnie a perdu dans le courrant du mois dix cannoniers tués, douze blessés, deux charretiers tués, trente six chevaux de trait tués et douze de selle. Pour mon compte j'ai été fait prisonnier à l'affaire du 6 [Frauenfeld], tenu par l'ennemi pendant deux minutes et delivré ensuite par les notres. Le soir de la meme journée j'ai eu un cheval tué sous moy »... Urdorf 12 messidor (30 juin), au capitaine Bucoron : « Toutes les bouches a feu que vous avez du parc devront etre rendues, mon camarade, demain 13 a six heures du matin à la grande redoute à droite de Diétikon, pour celebrer pour des salves d'artillerie la victoire remportée par notre Armée d'Italie sur les autrichiens et sur les russes »... 24 messidor (12 juillet), aux citoyens Poitte et Magin, et Mirlin, capitaine commandant : « Le général Oudinot ordonne, mon camarade, que les chevaux d'artillerie soient harnachés la nuit comme le jour. On ne doit les dégarnir que pour le moment du pansement et il faut les regarnir ensuite »... 3 thermidor (21 juillet), au capitaine Mirlin : « Le général de division est passé hier à votre batterie. Il a été justement étonné de ne pas y trouver de cannonier en faction, et il m'en a fait des reproches »... 17 thermidor (4 août), au général Gazan : « Conformément à vos ordres [...], je viens de mettre à la disposition du commandt des grenadiers un caisson à carthouches d'infrie »... 23 thermidor (10 août), au citoyen Mossel, chef d'escadron commandant la place de Fenestrelles : « La renommée m'a appris [...] que tu avais survécu aux desastres de l'Armée d'Italie et que tu commandais en ce moment la place de Fenestrelles en Piemont. Je te croyais bloqué »... 28 thermidor (15 août), à Hanicque : « comme notre Divon n'étoit chargée que de fausses attaques on y a peu consommé de munitions dans la journée d'hier [à Oberwald] »... Etc. ((09118.))
