War-dated TLS signed “G. S. Patton, Jr.,” one page, 8 x 10.5, June 27, 1945. Patton writes from Green Meadows, Hamilton, Massachusetts, in full: “I regret that I have not any picture available, and deeply appreciate your desiring one. My signature to this letter provides the autograph you request.” In fine condition, with scattered light creasing. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Patton sent this letter just weeks after his victorious reception in Los Angeles, during which time he addressed a crowd swelling to 100,000 in one of his few public appearances. At this time, he donated an original copy of the 1935 Nuremberg Laws, an item he had illegally smuggled out of German, to the Huntington Library. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
