ALS signed “W. T. Sherman,” three pages, lightly-lined on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, Headquarters Army of the Untied States, Washington, D. C. letterhead, May 31, 1882. Sherman writes to Colonel “Charley” H. Hoyt, in part: “I am much obliged for your letter and the details of trains & boats. I will probably come up in day time Saturday, June 10—reaching West Point by the train which leaves the city at 6:30 and arriving at 8:05—But of this I will advise you later…The family is getting ready for the summer at Oakland, Md., where Mrs. Sherman has taken a furnished house. We are all pretty ready to return to St. Louis this fall for good—as the Retiring Bill will include me, the only open question being as to the rate of compensation after retirement. If my pay be reduced I will embark in some business—if not I will take no risk. This therefore will be my last visit to West Point.” Light creasing, a uniform shade of toning, and a small separation to the right edge of each page, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by original mailing envelope, addressed in Sherman’s hand.
