Hand-addressed mailing envelope, 5.5 x 3.25, addressed by Lee to "Mrs…Franklin St., 7th & 8th, Richmond, Virg'a," and signed in the upper right corner, "R. E. Lee, Gen'l." In very good condition, with light dampstaining, and the recipient's name (undoubtedly his wife) clipped off and not present. Robert E. Lee's family occupied what is now known as the 'Stewart-Lee House' from 1864 to mid-1865; the three-story brick townhouse still stands today at 707 E. Franklin Street in Richmond, on the block between 7th and 8th Street. A great Civil War-period autograph from the commander of the Confederate Army.
