Union general (1786–1866). A year older than the Constitution, the venerable Scott, hero of the War of 1812 and the Mexican War, became General in chief of the U S Army in 1841, a position he still held at the start of the Civil War. A Virginian, he was the only non-West Pointer of Southern origin in the Regular Army to remain loyal to the Union. Third person ALS signed “Lieut. Genl. Scott” at the top, one page, lightly-lined, 4.5 x 7.5, no date, sent to The Herald. Letter written in the third person expressing displeasure with unwanted correspondence and autograph requests. In full: “Lieut. Genl. Scott, a third time, entreats the forbearance of correspondents. He still receives thrice the number of letters he can read, & a multitude more than he can acknowledge. To open applications for autographs, alone, he finds oppressive, tho’ it is long since he has answered one. And he hopes to be pardoned for adding that his observations on men & events are often misrepresented by letter-writers he has not seen.” Intersecting folds, with light separation to a horizontal fold and a vertical fold passing through beginning of signature, a few creases, and light uniform toning, otherwise fine condition.
