Confederate General George Pickett autograph letter signed ''George'' to his sixteen year old wife Sallie. Undated, circa 1864-65, Pickett writes: ''I wrote my darling by Jackerie but as Charlie is on point of starting, I could not forego the opportunity of saying to my Sallie how I do want to see her, bless her – I want to kiss her so much. Darling must try and not overwork herself – not mind little George too much or I shall get very very jealous. Speaking of that there are three ladies sitting on a porch looking at me…I don't want to look at any one but Sallie. She is the darling of my heart. She is my Chulita vida mia. Bye Bye sweet precious one – Ever your own George.'' The letter is addressed on the third page to Mrs. George E. Pickett, Richmond, and is noted as being carried by ''Maj Pickett,'' his younger brother. Some of the pencil writing is very light and a few words seem to have been erased. Three pages, 4'' x 6'', on two separate sheets. Soiling and some chipping at the edges, else good condition.
