Third-person ALS, signed within the text, “Gen'l Scott,” one page, 7.75 x 4.5, no date but circa February 1863. In full: "A card. Gen'l Scott once more, begs to be excused by correspondents. Rheumatism in the hand, makes it difficult to write. Hence the mess of unacknowledged letters mostly asking for autographs is daily increasing upon him. As it is impossible to answer one in fifty, he must, in future, neglect all—not on matters of importance." In fine condition. This was published in the New York Times on February 26, 1863, as part of the column 'Amusements.; A Card.'
