War-date Union soldier Autograph Letter Signed, 4pp. octavo on Maj. Gen. Halleck stationery, February 12, 1862, and reads in part: "...We are now in Rebeldom. We are camped about 4 miles from the city...I was a taking some sick to General Hospital. I saw this monument of James K. Polk which was very nice...we have had pike roads to travel on which was hard on boots most ever since we came in to K.Y. I understand there has been another battle at Fort Donelson since we came up her but our men whipped them...If you could seen us last Monday morn you would seen as nasty a set of men as you ever saw I will bet. We was on the main deck of the boat where they loaded in coal and grain and our wagons & mules on the side so you see we could not keep clean ourselves nor our clothes..." Fine condition.
