This brigadier general survived the Civil War, Spanish-American War, Indian uprisings, the Phillipine insurrection and World War One -- then died after tripping on a rug; when he wasn't fightin', he was writing', producing almost 60 novels about army life and frontier romance. ANS, 1p, heavy stock 4¼" X 3½" card, Milwaukee, WI, n.y. Addressed to Stalham L. Williams Jr. Near fine. Minor mounting traces on verso. Thanks a correspondent for a "pleasant letter" and a "valued suggestion" -- clearly a book idea -- and continues: "Just now I am 'loaded to the guards' with work but in that indefinite future -- 'one of these days' -- I may be able to handle that subject 'without gloves.'" Bold and quite attractive. Item #20979
