<B>Union General Winfield Scott Hancock Post-War Letter.</B></I> This is a somewhat comical letter written by Union Major General Winfield Scott Hancock to a Mr. A. A. Stevenson dated March 30, 1867. Posted from Washington, DC and marked "<I>private</B></I>", in the letter Hancock denies a report that recently he "<I>rode through the streets with Jefferson Davis and paid him distinguished attention</B></I>". The incident had apparently been reported in the press causing Hancock to write this letter. Hancock goes on to point that he had "<I>never met Davis in my life</B></I>". Apparently the two were in New Orleans at the same time, sparking the rumor. The 6" x 8.5" letter is three pages long and is signed by Hancock. There is a slight tear at the upper right of the first page; otherwise it is in fine condition.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Flat (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
