(Joseph Eggleston) Johnston (1807-1891) studied civil engineering at West Point and joined the U.S. Army, becoming Quartermaster General by 1860.

After the war, he represented Virginia in Congress and then served as Commissioner of Railroads in the Department of the Interior from 1885 to 1891. He had recently assumed that position when he send this letter, informing J. B. Beall, the editor of the Carroll County Times of Carrollton, Georgia, that he could not help Beall's son get a job with the government because the positions that he oversaw required skill in railroad accounting and law. He suggests that Beall's son take the civil service exam and apply for another type of position. In Near Fine Condition: 2 horizontal folds; light creasing at upper corner; clean and solid.

2005. Dated "March 5, 2005" with Palahniuk's agent's NYC return address. Aprx 150 words. Palahniuk returns signed books and informs his correspondent that in the furure the "address in Vacouver, Washington will be unreliable. I'm seldom there." He recommends St Helen's Bookstore for future signed books. "It's a small one-room bookstore and I stop there once a month... It's good to support small, independent bookstores." Palahniuk adds that he is glad to return the books. "It would bum-me-out to think they'd sat in the 'dead-letter' office, or -- like a ton of my mail -- got left in the rain... You wouldn't guess the sad, wet mountain of mail that gets hauled away from my old house in Portland." He ends with "I'll shut up now." Signed in ink. Fine condition.. Signed by Author. Unbound. Fine. Typed Letter Signed.
