War-dated ALS signed “Geo. B. McClellan,” one page, 4.5 x 7, November 13, 1861. McClellan writes to a colonel, in part: “Your letter of the 25th has just turned up—having been overlooked in a huge pile accumulated during the busy times of the late campaign. As I am on the very point of starting off for the day, I can only say that it will afford me great pleasure to begin your application if sent to me.” Light creasing to the top right and bottom left corner, a strip of toning to the bottom edge, and a pencil notation to the top left corner, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
