Dated “Hd Qrs June 16th 1862.” One page in ink, 5” x 8. Exhibits fold-marks. Else VG and entirely legible.

This letter from one major general divisional commander to was written between between the Battle of Fair Oaks at the end of May 1862 and the Seven Days battles for Richmond in late June-early July, in which both Longstreet and Hill were to play major roles, with Longstreet commanding at one point 15 brigades, nearly half of Lee’s army. It was here on the Peninsula that he began acquiring his reputation as “Lee’s old war horse.”

Text: “General….I will send the patrol in as you wish. The Yankees are reported moving down the River [Chickahominy] on the other side , and Ripley reports Chaning at Fairoak Station as though reinforcements were getting in / Very respectfully / J. Longstreet / General //Maj. Gen D. H. Hill / Comg _____”

Superb Longstreet dispatch to Hill the midst of the 1862 Peninsula Campaign. Excellent Longstreet / ANV collectible.  [JP][ph:L]
