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 US 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. ALS, one page, 4.5 x 7, March 4, 1852. Letter accepting a meeting. In part: “I shall be happy to see you & ‘the three or for friends’ you mention tomorrow…to eat roast oysters, & I shall invite three or four other friends to meet you.” Letter is inlaid to a slightly larger sheet. In fine condition, with a couple small pencil marks and a couple tiny pinholes.
