Lot 227
(CIVIL WAR). Jordan, Thomas. A very intereting item giving insite into Confederate supply problems, which were becoming more severe as the war progressed. Confederate General.
Letter Signed as Chief of Staff for General Beauregard. 1½ pages, quarto with integral leaf on blue "Head Quarters, Department of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida" stationery, Charleston, Oct. 5, 1863, to General Henry Wise regarding lack of shoes for Confederate troops in the Southeast.

Fine.
