Hand-addressed envelope panel, 5.25 x 3, addressed in Lee’s hand to “Genl C. M. Wilcox City of Mexico,” and notated by Lee in the lower left: “By Steamer / to Vera Cruz.” An explanatory letter of provenance is written on the reverse, signed “M.F.” Letter reads, “Mexico. 10 Feb. 1866. My dear Rutson, I did not have an autograph of Genl Lee, but here you have his handwriting; it concerned an autograph letter from him dated Lexington Va. 3 [sic, 23] Dec 1865 and which the envelope Wilcox has kindly given me for you. Will it do for your English friend?” In very good condition, with scattered toning and soiling, show-through from writing on reverse, stamp over end of address, and a few small edge tears.
