184844420Charleston SC 1848. Very good tiny tears and light browning particularly around folds minor ink bleed through contents clean. 4 pp. Bifolium. 8 x 10.5 inches. A wonderful letter filled with descriptions and anecdotes of prominent military and political figures including Andrew Jackson. Dated Feb. 28th 1848 just as the Mexican American War was concluding the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo occurred less than four weeks before this letter was written and Polk's message to Congress concerning the Treaty a scant six days prior. Burns tells his cousin Anson of his visit to Washington D.C. to attend the celebrations hosted by Mr. & Mrs. Clifford Nathan Clifford was Attorney General. Burns was introduced to President Polk and presented the respects of his uncle Dr. Burns to which Polk replied "'Are you a relative of Dr. Burns I am glad to see you' and 'How is the doctor I have a great regard for him. I always know where to find him. We fought shoulder to shoulder through a stormy campaign. The Doctor was one of my finest friends - he never flinched. But how happens it that I did not see him at Concord last summer I expected to have met him'." <br /> <br /> Burns later attended a private ball at the home of Secretary of Treasury Robert J. Walker's where Burns admits he was "attaché to the Cabinet ladies". Here he met among other politicians and military figures General Sam Houston and Colonel May captor of La Vega who shared with Burns the comical circumstances that led to his appointment as Captain by Andrew Jackson. May tells Burns that "he had waiting long at Washington as an unsuccessful applicant for a commission until in a fit of desperation he mounted his horse & knowing himself one of the boldest riders in the County galloped to the White House rode up to the door & demanded to see the President. The servant asked him to walk in but he declines insisting that he must see his excellency at the Doors. At a summons so unusual the President hurried down and asked what he wanted. I wish you to see me ride said he. With that he vaulted into the saddle leaped over the iron picket enclosure backward & forward dome half dozen times and after curveting about the yard brought up in front of the palace rode up the steps & dismounted. Now says he General if you think me worthy of a Commission in the Cavalry & shall be most happy. I appoint you Captain on the spot said the old hero. Subsequent events show how well he deserved the station."<br /> <br /> Burns closes the letter with an excerpt of his farewell exchange with President Polk. "The morning before I left I called to bid goodbye to the Polks. He had just transmitted to the Senate his answer to their call for information relative to Mexican affairs. Says he "Mr. Burns What am I to do Here I am continually questioned not only as to fads but intentions motives & opinions. Now the information they want would be at this time highly injurious. Mexico knows too much already. Who is to be the judge" I told him I thought he certainly ought not to communicate information which he knew would prove injurious. "Certainly not" said he. He then referred to the publication of the correspondence of Mr. Reeves with his Government relative to French claims in which Mr. Reeves boasts what a good bargain he had made relative to French claims. The French Minister was present & the difficulty with France grew mainly out of this intention. To Mr. Johnson the new senator from Georgia he said "you have got just high enough. If you should happen to get into this place looking round the cabinet room you will not find yourself by any means in a quiet position. In fact Mr. Polk looked haggard and very much perplexed. But we shall soon have peace on that you may depend." unknown

188528707New York 1885. Manuscript. Very good condition. A Civil War example of severe PTSD. The Northern general and war hero Brevet Major General Thomas Egan was severely wounded four times during the war. His marriage broke down his only child was taken by his ex-wife to England and he degenerated into alcoholism. After being arrested for public intoxication in early July 1884 he was sentenced to Ward's Island Insane Asylum. This letter is his appeal to Pierrepont to secure his release. The return address is "Wards Island Insane Asylum Hospital Ward 2" which is heartbreaking.<br /> <br /> Egan's argument in the letter refers to Dr. Alex E. Macdonald sic 'the person that pronunced Guiteau sain sic that murdered President Garfield .not legible that Mr. H was insain won't you for the Lords sake see Mayor Grace or the commission and have me discharged shurley sic I deserve better of my country a record second to no soldier on Earth which Genl Grant will certify." Dr. Alex Macdonald was a prominent American physician and psychologist. In 1885 he was a resident physican at the New York City Asylum for the Insane on Ward's Island and would become superintendent the next year. Mr. H may refer to Allan McHale Hamilton who was an expert witness regarding Guiteau Garfield's assassin and pronounced him sane.<br /> <br /> Dr. R. Gregory Lande fittingly noted “The bullets and bombs stopped in 1865 but the social shock waves were just beginning.†As General Egan demonstrated many disabled veterans endured decades of poverty chronic pain and emotional distress long after the guns fell silent. “Down Fame’s Ladderâ€: Brigadier General Thomas W.
