Description
J.E.B. Stuart ALS, June 12, 1861 

J.E.B. Stuart (1833-1864). Famed Confederate Cavalier. ALS as Lieut. Colonel, 1p, 7.75 x 9.75 in., "Head Qrs Camp Clover, 8 P.M." June 12, 1861. To Col. Kenton Harper.

Stuart, who was Lieut. Colonel at the time, sends back to Harper two companies of the 5th Virginia and asks Harper if he could borrow a field piece (canon) and a few rounds, I promise to return it in 24 hours. We wonder what mischief Stuart might have been up to! Stuart goes on to state that his Cavalry are worked hard as the picket and patrol duty are very heavy.

A wonderful war-date example.
Condition
