(1841 - 1878) Union brevet brigadier general, on the Port Royal expedition when Fort Pulaski was captured, with Shields at Port Republic, and as major on the staff with II Corps of the Army of Virginia in the Shenandoah campaign until he was severely wounded at Cedar Mountain. Wonderful personal content war-date A.L.S., 3pp. 4to., Washington, Oct. 23, 1863 to Bvt. BNrig. General ADAM BADEAU (1831-1895). Interesting content, in which Pelouze first mentions interviewing a 'Major Williams' in regards to what appears to be a dispute involving Badeau concerning Badeau's health, probably the disabling wound he received at Port Hudson a few months earlier. In part: '...I believe you will have to be [?] again as having made a satisfactory defence and being relieved from the charge.When you are about able to toddle, I wish you would let me know the fact. Specifying what character of duty you think you can perform and I will endeavor to put you to work. I wish you would remember me to General Sherman...Tell him that no two members of his staff of the E.C. are serving together...a good account can be given of each. I would like to see General Sherman - I owe him many thanks...Tell me all about your wound - tell me that you won't be crippling your way through life...Did you ever dream that you were made a Brigadier and did you ever awaken from such a horrid night...thank your stars or I should say your bars that it was only a dream...I'd like to mix you a toddy - not in goblets but in tumblers...' Expertly inlaid, fine condition.
