PATTON GEORGE S.: (1885-1945) General of the United States Army, Commander of the U.S. Third Army following the Allied invasion of Normandy during WWII. An early and rare A.L.S., `G.S Patton Jr.´, two pages, 4to, 13th May 1918, [Langres, France], to his mother Ruth Wilson Patton. The present letter is sent from France when Patton was leading a tank training school. Patton, in his usual difficult writing, states in part `Things are looking better in the way of getting material as at last they are helping us a little. I am feeling very well except that I have a sort of itch on my chest which bothers me a lot. There´s no hope of my getting into the flight for a while yet but I trust it will last long enough to give us all a chance.´, further adding `Aunt Nannie is worried for fear that she should not say I am in the tanks. It is all right to say it as it is out in orders. With much love to all. Your devoted son.´ Only a month earlier Patton had been appointed Lieutenant Colonel. With full transcription. Folded, with very small age toning, otherwise in very fine condition. VG
