Self-wrappers. Zustand: Good +. Octavo, [4pp.]. Single sheet, folded to about 5.25" x 8", printed on the first leaf only. In good or better condition, with old flattened folds, with some stress tears to same. Mild finger-soiling/staining. The hand-colored engraved image is in very good or better condition. Printed song sheet bea…ring a pro-McClellan tune. Though undated, the subject of the song seems to be regarding McClellan's position in the military (being recently demoted from command of the Army of the Potomac due to Lincoln's dissatisfaction with him), rather than his 1864 presidential campaign. The third leaf contains a full-page neat holograph letter from one Joseph Bowman, who identifies himself as a member of the 61st Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, 2nd Division, 6th Army Corps. The letter, addressed to a Mr. Miller from Brandy Station, VA on April 11, 1864, mostly thanks Miller for his earlier letter, and tells him that the box Miller had sent never arrived, due to his regiment's movements. He asks Miller to give the song sheet to "Katte," who he identifies as his "favorite one" as a present from him (Bowman). A nice personal Civil War letter on a nice piece of Civil War ephemera.
