Item description from seller

Single sheet folded to create 4 pp., 6 x 9 inches when folded. Gen. Taylor had captured the city of Monterrey, Mexico, September 22-23 and granted the Mexican army an eight-week armistice, an action that displeased Polk. Taylor further alienated Polk by writing a letter to Gen. Gaines, which found its way into the press, criticizing Polk and his secretary of war, William L. Marcy. Polk then ordered Taylor to confine his actions to those necessary for defensive purposes and transferred Taylor's best troops to the army of General Winfield Scott. First edition (first printing). Good only copy with paper browned and edges worn with small closed edge tears. Remains very readable.
