American soldier and politician (1835-1905), nephew of Robert E. Lee, who was a Confederate cavalry general during the Civil War and a general during the Spanish-American War. TLS, one page, 7.75 x 10.5, April 3, 1903. Letter to John Cullen Bryant, in full: "I received your letter and write to say that you can send me a copy of the book entitled 'Famous Orators of the World and their best Orations.' I would like it bound in half-morocco, burnished edges." In very good to fine condition, with an old mounting strip to the left edge, and splitting to the intersecting folds.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
