A propos de cet article

May 13th, 1886., 1886. Very good. - Over 145 words penned on three sides of 7-3/4 inch wide 4-7/8 inch wide cream paper with an integral attached leaf, each page framed with a black ink mourning border. The widow of General Thomas Sword thanks Colonel Marston for his "kind letter, with loving and appreciative words from Gen. Crawford and yourself." "I cannot express our value [of] the touching remembrance, that have come to me - from those filling the higher, and lower walks of combined military & naval life with Gen. Swords, & particularly from those who stood by his side in the dark hour when exposed to almost individual perils and held up his hands." Signed "C. Augusta Swords". There are some light brown stains to the first two pages and the top corner of the second leaf is chipped. Paper remnants, likely from mounting, adhere to the top right corner of the last blank page. Very good. The letter is probably addressed to Gilman Marston who served as a Colonel and later as a Brigadier General in the Civil War. Gen. Crawford to whom she refers is probably General Samuel W. Crawford. A veteran of the Mexican War and the Civil War, General Thomas Swords (1806-1886) is the highest ranking veteran buried in the Piscatawaytown Burial Ground in Deison, NJ. Then Captain Swords marched with Colonel Stephen Kearney from Kansas to Santa Fe, New Mexico to capture the city during the Mexican War. He was chief quartermaster of the Department of the Cumberland, and the Ohio during the Civil War and served at the battle of Chickamauga. He and his wife Charlotta Augustus Swords lived in New York City at the time of his death.…
