Autograph Letter Signed
(1818-93) Graduated in the West Point class of 1843 and won the brevet of 1st lieutenant during the Mexican War. At the beginning of the Civil War, Ingalls was appointed Chief Quarter Master of the Army of the Potomac. He served successively under Generals' McClellan, Burnside, Hooker and Meade, rendering outstanding service to each of them in this position of great importance, a task which must be highly praised. In 1864, his intimate friend and classmate, General U.S. Grant, appointed him chief quartermaster of all Union armies operating against Richmond. He remained in the U.S. Army after the Civil War retiring in 1883 after 40 years of service to his country.
Autograph Letter Signed: 5 x 8, in ink.
(Major General Rufus Ingalls) (U.S. Army)
"Dear Norton,
I have just received a letter of which the foregoing is a copy.
I hope I shall have the pleasure of congratulating you upon the receipt of your Brevet.
Yours truly, Rufus Ingalls
New York City Oct. 8th"
Light age toning and wear. There is a thin piece of paper affixed to the bottom of the letter sheet with the following title done using an antique typewriter: "Maj. Gen. Rufus Ingalls U.S. Army (By Brevet)." Very fine letter. |
