General William T. Sherman to Senator John Sherman, January 19, 1872

NICE, Jan. 19, 1872.

Dear Brother: The telegraph announces your re-election, and as quite a number of Americans and even foreigners have congratulated me on your re-election I can but join in the general acclaim. This carries your political career two years after Gen. Grant's second term.

Yours truly,
W. T. SHERMAN.
