This is a remarkable handwritten letter by General George S. Patton (1885–1945), penned on "The California Limited Santa Fe" En Route stationery. The letter, written during a train journey, offers a rare and candid glimpse into Patton’s personality, filled with humor, travel details, and his sharp observational wit. Most notably, the letter is signed with Patton’s full name, “George S. Patton,” an uncommon feature that adds significant rarity and value to this already exceptional piece of historical memorabilia.

The letter also includes details about train schedules and travel logistics, demonstrating Patton’s characteristic attention to detail and efficiency, even in personal correspondence. His humor and keen observations shine through, giving readers a rare glimpse into his life outside the military. The letter concludes with his full name signature, which is seldom seen in his letters, as Patton typically used his initials or a more informal signature. In excellent condition. (Please note that there are air pockets within the encapsulation that are NOT flaws to the letter itself and that should subside within a few weeks). The autograph on this letter is graded MINT 9 by PSA/DNA. Authenticated, graded and encapsulated by PSA/DNA.
