Buckner, Simon Bolivar. Autograph Note Signed ("S.B. Buckner"). One page, small quarto, Munfordville, Kentucky, August 7, 1907. A brief letter to an unknown addressee stating that "The address of Gen. G.W.C. Lee is to the care of his nephew, R. E. Lee, Jr, Washington DC. ". Transmittal fold, minor toning, else fine.
Obviously written in an elderly hand, this letter dates to Buckner's 84th year and speaks of his involvement with his fellow officers well into his later years. Indeed, the comradeship shared by soldiers on both sides of the Civil War was notable for its longevity -- forged in the fires of battle as young men, their friendships remained active and sustained them until death.
