Scroll down a bit until you hit the headline "He died with Custer" -- to see a brand-new Keogh letter we knew nothing about! It's from very early in the CW, when he's still on Shields' staff.
Nothing earth-shattering, as it's only an order, except just as a glimpse of his official style. Interesting that he seems to be operating entirely independently; there's no "The Brigadier-General commanding requests me to say" or anything.
For non-Keogh fans, there's plenty of other great stuff on this site too: Lincoln, various CW figures. Nice.
