Description
BENJAMIN S. ROBERTS
(1810 - 1875) Union brigadier general who led a punitive expedition against Indians in Minnesota, later commanding cavalry at Cedar Mountain and Second Bull Run. A.E.S. on the verso of a letter from Col. NELSON B. BARHAM who commanded the 17th N.Y. Vols. and the 20th United States Colored Troops, 1p. 4to., "Post Parapet, La.", June 14, 1864. Barham complains that members of the Chicago Mercantile Battery are in desperate need of some clothing which a certain quartermaster officer refuses to issue. He asks that appropriate measures be taken. On the verso, Roberts responds in an 11-line A.E.S. from Carrollton: "...Col. Barham will assign an officer to the temporary command...who will make his requisition for the necessary clothing...". Very good.
