George A. Custer Handwritten Envelope Addressed to Future Wife, PSA Authenticated

Item Details

Description

George A. Custer Handwritten Envelope Addressed to Future Wife, PSA Authenticated

An envelope written in Custer's hand and addressed to his future wife, Elizabeth Bacon. Affectionately written as "Miss Libbie Bacon Monroe, Michigan" and postmarked from Washington D.C., ca. 1864. The envelope, measuring 5.5" x 3", has been verified authentic by PSA/DNA and encapsulated to the overall size of 4.25" x 7.25". Expected creasing along edges with some soiling present on verso, else very good.

George Armstrong Custer (1839-1876) was a United States Army officer and cavalry commander in the American Civil War and the American Indian Wars. He would marry Elizabeth "Libbie" Bacon (1842-1933) on February 9, 1864 after being promoted to brevet brigadier general. Following his death at the Battle of Little Bighorn, Libbie would be invaluable to the rehabilitation of her husband's image, which many believed to a preventable military blunder.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
