ALS, three pages, lightly-lined on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, Head-Quarters Armies of the United States letterhead, July 3, 1866. Letter to Major General George W. Cullum, superintendent of the West Point Military Academy. In part: “It would be very much more pleasant for me to be at a private house than at a crowded hotel and I will gladly accept the invitation if my family will not be too large for you to accommodate. Mrs. Grant and three children will be with me. If this is too much of a good thing please don’t hesitate about saying so.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Grant’s hand. This letter dates to just one year after the conclusion of the Civil War, and mere weeks before Congress promoted Grant to the newly created rank of General of the Army of the United States on July 25, 1866. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
