1867231088Washington 1867. unbound. 1 page on "War Department" letterhead 9.75 x 7.75 inches Washington November 6 1867 -- an uncommon partly printed document signed "U.S. Grant" as ad interim Secretary of War a post he held for only eight weeks informing Thomas J.

1865WRCAM53987City Point Va 1865. 1p. 6 x 7 3/4 inches. Verso docketed with an 1896 penciled presentation inscription to Chicago manufacturing magnate W.W. Wilcox with a faint ink stamp recording the date of presentation. Old horizontal folds light edge toning one tiny tear at bottom edge else fine condition. An important and revealing original communication from the pen of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant near the close of the Civil War. Here Grant writes a telegram to Major General Edward Ord who was at that time in command of the Army of the James in Virginia. Ord's forces were participating in the Appomattox Campaign and achieved their greatest success at the Breakthrough at Petersburg just about two weeks after this telegram was sent. Ord would later be present for Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House. <br> <br> In this letter Grant informs Ord that Sheridan has just brought in thousands of freed African Americans to work as laborers for the Union. Grant sends them to the provost marshal at Fort Monroe in Hampton Roads and informs Ord that he may employ some of the men however he might see fit. The text of the telegram reads: <br> <br> "Gen. Sheridan has brought in with him some two or three thousand negroes. I have directed him to send them to the F.V. at Ft. Monroe. The Chief Ar. Ms. Gen. Ingalls will give directions for the distribution and employment of the able bodied men. The balance you may direct to be sent to such settlement as you may think can best employ them. U.S. Grant Lt. Gen." <br> <br> Ord and his men were instrumental in bringing an end to the Civil War in the weeks that followed this telegram. On April 9 Ord led a forced march to Appomattox Court House that is credited with in part forcing Lee's final surrender. Of this march Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman wrote in an 1880 letter that he "had always understood that Ord's skillful hard march the night before was one of the chief causes of Lee's surrender." It is poetic justice of the highest order to consider that some of the African-American former slaves mentioned in this telegram were likely part of Ord's forces at Appomattox where they could have borne witness to the end of the Confederacy.

It reads: "Les derniers honneurs rendus a Berryer l'illustre avocat mort le 29 Novembre ont ete l'evenement des premiers jours de ce mois. - A ses funerailles dignes de sa vie et de sa fin; on a feté les plus belles choses de ce mond la probité le getenie la foi! - Le corps est reste entre les anciennes demeures de Malesherbes et de Mirabeau Le portrait de Mr. Berryer est partout: vus devez l'avoir en qualite de Francais!
