LS signed “P. H. Sheridan,” one page, 5 x 8, Headquarters, US Army letterhead, February 2, 1884. Letter to Mayor Seth Low of Brooklyn, New York, declining an invitation to be his personal guest. In part: "I have always found that upon such public occasions as meetings of Army Societies, &c, it was inconvenient not only for my host, but for all who wished to see me on business, if I accepted the hospitalities of a private house; I have, therefore, had to adopt the rule of always taking quarters at a hotel." The second integral page has been professionally inlaid into a larger sheet. In fine condition. Accompanied by an engraved portrait bearing a facsimile signature.
