Description

This handwritten letter, dated December 7, 1863, is written from W. S. Rosecrans, a Union general during the American Civil War to General George H. Thomas, an American general in the Union Army during the American Civil War and one of the principal commanders in the Western Theater. The letter describes the work of a Mr. Bourlin and Rosecrans' desire to send him to work with General Thomas as Bourlin is too well known to be of further use to Rosecrans's unit. There are visible blemishes on the paper due to ink smudges. This letter was found tipped into volume six, between pages 336-337 of Abraham Lincoln : A History by John G. Nicolay and John Hay.
