Lee, Robert E (1807-1870) Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, later Commander of all Confederate forces. Lee's fortitude and grace after the Confederate loss gained him the respect of the entire nation.

Autograph Envelope Signed ("RE Lee / Genl"). 5.5 x 3", n.p., n.d. To Rev. A. W. Miller. Toning and soil, envelope open at top with small tear to the verso. In good condition.

Addressed to Rev. A. W. Miller, of Petersburg, Virginia, this rare form of Lee document makes us yearn for the letter it once held. A religious man, Lee may have been writing to Miller for spiritual guidance, or perhaps this envelope was addressed during the Siege of Petersburg and Lee was writing to Reverend Miller for information or to offer him words of comfort.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.

 
Unsold
