ALS, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 6.75, Mounted Service School letterhead, no date, but March 1915. Letter to his mother. In part (with grammar and spelling retained): “You and Pa must be regular hollers in the roadster and yet Pa swore he had no use for it. Nothing very exciting has happened here this week…As we start polo tomorrow one of my ponies had to go lame to day I hope it is nothing serious…I just got through writing an article on the sword for the rasp [the student yearbook] and will mail you a copy tomorrow it is only fairly good. If it dries out sufficiently Mr. Palmer and I are going Coyote hunting Saturday we have to go now as soon the salter will be in the fields and then we cannot hunt.” In fine condition, with a vertical fold through a single letter of signature. Accompanied by a photocopy of the front of the original mailing envelope. Patton was appointed the school’s first Master of the Sword. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
