Title: Letters concerning the conduct of Major Emeric Meszaros in the Battle of Pea Ridge, 1862-1863.

Eight ALS to Colonel George E. Waring from officers of the 4th Missouri Cavalry, 1862 Mar-Apr; three ALS to Waring from Emeric Meszaros, 1862 Mar-Apr; and five additional letters and drafts of letters concerning Meszaros and the 4th Missouri Cavalry, 1862-1863 and undated. Letters from officers Oscar P. Howe, Howard Dwight, Thomas W. Cooper, William S. Burns, Fred Cooper, John B. Waring, and Gustav Illig, dated at Camp Hoffman, near Cross Timbers, Mar 24-25, accuse Meszaros of cowardice in the Battle of Pea Ridge and report continuing misconduct by him; discuss communications regarding Meszaros between officers of the 4th Cavalry and generals Samuel Ryan Curtis, Alexander S. Asboth, and Franz Sigel; and request Waring's presence with the 4th Cavalry. A letter from Oscar P. Howe encloses a copy of a letter dated Mar 12 from officers of the 4th Cavalry to Meszaros requesting his resignation. Also included is an AL from an unidentified officer, Apr 8, apparently a fragment, with a note written in shorthand, Apr 5. In three letters to Waring dated Mar 17-Apr 13, Meszaros describes the Battle of Pea Ridge and discusses the charges against him, giving an account of his actions and criticizing the conduct of his subordinate officers. Additional letters include ALS and drafts concerning alleged misuse of government property by Meszaros, 1862 May-Jul, and a pension requested by Mathias Messiner for his service in the 4th Cavalry, 1863 Jul. Also present are a list of field and staff officers of the 4th Cavalry and a list of company officers, both written in manuscript in an unidentified hand, 1862 Aug 31. The letters are accompanied by an envelope annotated in manuscript in an unidentifed hand.
