(1819 - 1895) Confederate brigadier general who served under Beauregard at Fisrt Bull Run, and later under Johnston at Shiloh. War-date A.L.S. "Brig. Gen. Jordan Chief of Staff" and signed on behalf of Brig. Gen. Johnson Hagood, 1p. 8vo., "Head Qrs. Adams Run", Apr. 4, 1863 to a fellow general. Jordan sends a reply to a "misstatement of facts" which had been published in "The Courier", adding: "...As his vindication involves allusions to the orders under which he acted, I have thought it proper to submit the paper to you before allowing it to go into the public prints..." Light wear at margins, else very good.
