McClellan, George (1826-85) Union general. Autograph Letter Signed "Geo. B. McClellan Maj Genl," 1½pp, 9¾x7¾", Barrett's Ferry Chickahominy, 17 Aug. (18)62. Fine. To Maj. Genl. H.W. Halleck, Comdg U.S. Army, Washington D.C. In part: "I have had this morning a full conversation with Genl Burnside. To be perfectly frank with you…I did think from some of your recent telegrams that you were not disposed to treat me in a candid or friendly manner….I am glad to say that Burnside has satisfied me that you are still my friend. In return I think he can satisfy you that I have loyally carried out your instructions, although my own judgment was not in accordance with yours…. So long as I remain in command of this army I will faithfully carry out the new programme. I feel quite confident that I will have everything across the Chickahominy by daylight. If all is then quiet I will regard my command as normally safe & will feel justified in moving it solely with reference to its speedy embarkation…."
Estimated Value $4,000 - 6,000.
