ALS signed “GSP Jr.,” one page, 5.5 x 3.5, color postcard of King Arthur's Castle Hotel in Tintagel letterhead, July 9, no year but likely 1913. Written from Stratford-upon-Avon, a letter to his father, "Mr. Geo. S. Patton," in full: "We drove here in a machine and stopped two nights and went to church Sunday. It is a fine place. Daniel is here. We visited the place where Igraine's husband was killed by Uther Pendragon. Both well." In very good to fine condition, with scattered creasing, and a short edge tear. A year after competing in the 1912 Stockholm Summer Games, the 27-year-old Patton returned to Europe in the summer of 1913 to undergo fencing techniques from Adjutant Charles Cléry at the cavalry school in Saumur, France.
