Addressed to noted Lincoln and Civil War scholar Arnold Gates (1914-93). Near fine. Two horizontal original folds. On "Civil War History" letterhead, Walton as editor of a new scholarly journal writes to this officer of a newly-formed group to thank him for "the booklet on the Civil War Round Table of New York, for which you produced the art work" -- and with ulterior motive (in part): "We have intended that Civil War History be an illustrated journal; the second issue contained maps which we thought admirably illustrated the military maneuvers involved in the accompanying articles. I had hoped, however, that we could illustrate by line drawings, each article which we published. Unfortunately, we have not been able to secure drawings which I felt were good enough to use in CWH. would it possible for you to consider helping to illustrate the articles which will appear in Civil War History? I have no particular feelings as to style, nor would I attempt to dictate which points should be illustrated. If it happens that you are by profession an artist, I wish to withdraw my offer. I believe firmly that too many professional people are taken advantage of because of friendship or pseudo-professional friendships. I would not think of asking a medical doctor to examine me without sending me a bill." Boldly signed in jet black ink at the close. Walton was a respected historian and author and served as Illinois State Historian and Illinois State Historical Society executive director. An outstanding, out-of-the-ordinary copy of this handsome production.
