Sickles," one page both sides, 5 x 7.75, personal monogrammed letterhead, no date. Sickles writes to General James G. Milton. In part: "The suggestion would be agreeable to me & if you will give me the name of the owner of the yacht I will confer with my colleagues of the Army of the Potomac Committee at once & inform you of their wishes promptly. This is necessary because we have made arrangements to meet the count down the bay in the…Germanic." In fine condition, with two areas of faint toning.
