Union general during the Civil War (1815 -1905). ALS signed “N. C. McLean,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.75 x 7.5, June 29, 1868. Lengthy letter to his wife, written from a small outpost in Minnesota. In part: “Ever since your letter from New York fixing the time of your departure from there I had always hoped that this week would bring you home, but now I see that cannot be, and another week must pass before I can have you with me…You can never understand dear wife how such a wife is perfectly consistent with a longing for you at home when your love is all and all to me. I feel very impatient for the time to fly away fast in order that I may again have my little wife.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, with the stamp clipped off. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and light overall toning. RRAuction COA.
