General George S. Patton Autograph Letter Signed
<B>General George S. Patton Autograph Letter Signed:</B></I> "<I>George</B></I>", three pages, 5.5" x 6.75", West Point, November 4, 1906. An affectionate letter written to "<I>Papa</B></I>", with a great bold signature at the end. A long, personal letter in which the West Point senior writes about his studies, horseback riding, and his social life. (Apparently he was rather socially naive). He writes: "<I>I danced with a Miss Harriman from N.Y. She was very nice, don't you know some people named that in N.Y.?</B></I>" Of course, the Harrimans were among the wealthiest and socially prominent families in the city. Very fine condition.
