Union general (1824–1886) who distinguished himself in the Battle of Gettysburg and later commanded Custer and the 7th Cavalry against the Cheyenne in the disastrous 1867 campaign known as ‘Hancock’s War.’ Two LSs, approximately 5.5 x 8.25, one on Governor’s Island letterhead, each dated 1881. Hancock writes to the law offices of Woods and Babcock regarding a land sale. The first letter, dated November 9, reads in part: “I wish you would please let me know what was the outcome of the Articles of Agreement I signed for the sale of Lot 19…I have heard nothing from you since on the subject.” The second letter, dated December 2, is an apparent reply to their response reading in part: “I have no objection to assigning the Mortgage Deeds…for their full value, with the interest that may be due.” In very good condition, with mild toning (heavier at the top border), smudging to some words, small holes, and some edge tears. Interesting and associative content. RRAuction COA.
