1086. MYLES W. KEOGH Very rare A.L.S. "M. W. Keogh", 2pp. 16mo., [n.p., n.d.], to his brother Tom. A desperate, despairing letter to his family, in part: "...I have become with plenty of gray hairs on my head. I cried &cried bitterly when I opened & saw only one little scrap for me...[and it was] full of bitterness...I want to hear again from home & from you...let it be what it may but let it be candid...Don't make me think...[I am] ungrateful...I shall look for the fate of a soldier...with a proud fear, not with a saddened regret of not being loved as I once was...". Very good. $2,000 - 3,000
