Union general (1819–1893). Famous for his association with the invention of the game of baseball. ALS, one page both sides, 4.75 x 7.75, November 20, 1887. Letter about his upbringing. In part: “You ask for some information as to how I passed my youth. I was brought up in a book store and early imbibed a taste for reading. I was fond of poetry and art and much interested in mathematical studies. In my outdoor sports I was addicted to topographical work and even as a boy amused myself by making maps of the country around my father’s residence which was in Auburn Cayuga Co N.Y. He was a bookseller & editor there.” In fine condition, with mild toning and trivial soiling.
