Union general (1815–1872) best known for leading his troops to a commanding victory over Lee’s Confederates at Gettysburg in one of the pivotal battles of the Civil War. ALS signed “Geo. G. Meade,” one page both sides, 4 x 5, personal letterhead, September 15, 1871. Letter to his family doctor. In full: “George is laid up today. He does not deem it necessary to send for you, but I think if you can without inconvenience drop in it would be well. He tells me he has had for more than a week past profuse perspirations at night and that he feels severely weakened by them.” Second integral page bears a note in pencil, transmitting the letter to an autograph collector. In very good to fine condition, with slight tape-repaired separations to mailing and adjoining folds, and trivial scattered soiling.
