World War II–dated ALS signed “Joe,” one page both sides, 5 x 7.25, no date but postparked January 21, 1945. Letter to Colonel Owen R. Meredith. 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.” A ballpoint notation identifying the signature, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Stilwell’s hand. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
