Controversial and colorful American politician and military officer (1819–1914). After discovering his young wife was having an affair, Sickles shot the man, the son of Francis Scott Key, and managed to secure an acquittal with the then-novel defense of temporary insanity. During the Civil War, Sickles served as a general and lost his leg in a famous incident at the Battle of Gettysburg. Partial ALS signed “D. Sickles,” one page both sides, 5 x 4, 23-Fifth Avenue, featuring an printed image of Sickles personal crest letterhead, July 9. Partial letter in which Sickles’ informs a Mr. Kranth (?) that he will be “Leaving for Gettysburg on Monday last in the 8:50,” dated “July 9, /6.” Trimmed edges, light show-through from writing on the reverse, and a faint pencil notation in the top right corner, otherwise fine condition.
