General McDowell introduces an officer. The Seller's Description states that this letter was "from a small collection of correspondence addressed to John Sherman, who had just become a U.S. Senator from Ohio at this date." Says "Permit me to introduce Captain R. S. Granger ... The Captain is in a position to need your aid, and as his case is a very important one as involving a great principle and as bearing on the way existing hostilities are to be prosecuted, I have assumed you might find it of sufficient interest to claim your consideration."
