War-dated TLS signed “G. S. Patton, Jr,” one page, 8 x 10.5, February 24, 1944. Letter to a Spanish-American War veteran. In full: “Please accept my thanks for your letter. I was a little boy during the Spanish-American War, but naturally I admired you veterans greatly, and I am delighted to find that some of you admire me.” In fine condition, with a couple minor creases. At the time of writing this letter, D-Day preparations were underway. Patton was appointed commander of the fictitious First United States Army Group, created, and supported by Patton. Designed to confuse German intelligence, their forces were misallocated as a result, and were delayed in being put into action at Normandy.
