Edwin M. Stanton Signed Envelope, Likely War-Dated
Measuring 5.75" x 3.5", Washington, D.C., illegible date [possibly January 1862]. A War Department envelope, marked "Official Business" and signed "Edwin M. Stanton." Addressed to Mr. Samuel P. Dolt in Hartford, Connecticut. Mounted to a small backing sheet, with expected edge wear and soiling. Pencil notations on verso, very fine.
