Description

“Orders have come in, (confidential), and I am shoving off for Washington tomorrow”

War-dated ALS signed “Joe,” one page both sides, 5.25 x 7.5. To Med. In part: “Orders have come in, (confidential), and I am shoving off for Washington tomorrow…I want to thank you for all you have done for us while I have been bumming around here. Instead of the few days I thought it might be, it has stretched out to two and a half months, and I am very much afraid that I have proved to be a semi-permanent imposition rather than a temporary guest…The best of luck to you. You will hear from me again, I hope, but in the mean while keep your fingers crossed.” In fine condition, with scattered surface creasing, and two separate notations in another hand, one in pencil and one in ink. Accompanied by original mailing envelope addressed in Stilwell’s hand and postmarked January 21, 1945. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
