War-date Union civilian Autograph Letter Signed by Philo Pease, 4pp. octavo, on Ellsworth stationery, January 1, 1863, Harrison Co., Indiana, and reads in part: "...Times are squaly and gloomy here. There was a hard battle fought last week in Kentucky, about fifty miles from here. I have not got the particulars about it. It is stated different ways in the paper. I suppose there was at least 4,000 Union troops killed among them some of the best officers in the army. General [?] mortally wounded, the best general in the service. Louisville is in danger again of being taken by the rebels. There is a large force of them at this time but a few miles back of the city. I will say no more about it...I forgot to tell you that the Union troops gained the victory at Mumfordsville, Ky...."Fine condition.
