    Description

    Typewritten letter from Herbert G. Squiers to Edmund Zalinski, dated 1903. Center and rear panel blank. Folded measures 7.8" x 5".
    Recipient was Captain Edmund Zalinski, born in Poland in 1849, emigrated to America in 1853, and joined the Union Army in 1864 as a teenager. He went on to a long career as a military engineer and inventor, most notably developing the pneumatic dynamite torpedo-gun (called the Zalinski gun). This letter comes from a large archive of material received by Zalinski around the time of the Spanish-American war which he then presented to Gertrude Whiting for her autograph collection.
