Revolutionary War-Dated George Washington Autograph; a Letter Signed — Washington Writes During the “Secret” 1777 Winter Encampment at Valley Forge — “…it is highly probable that Troops may soon have to cross over [the Schuylkill River], which must be kept perfectly Secret…”

Historically important George Washington autograph letter signed “G. Washington” from “Headquarters”, dated 1 December 1777, as Washington was deciding where to encamp his troops for the winter. As this letter demonstrates, he had already secured the location of Valley Forge, a decision which proved to be a major success in the War, as the area was highly defensible and strategically located from British forces. Washington would lead his troops to Valley Forge less than three weeks later, on 19 December 1777, where they would regroup for the winter and learn military training from Baron von Steuben. Letter, addressed to Brigadier General Potter, reads: “Sir, Since Mr. Tilghman’s letter of last Evening to you, I have advice from the City which convinces me that the Enemy do not propose coming out as we then expected. I therefore wish that if you will not have crossed the Schuylkill before you receive this, you may remain on the other side for sometime longer. If the Bridge lately built should have suffer’d any Damage by the late Rains, you will get your men to repair it, in the best order you can, as it is highly probable that Troops may soon have to cross over it, which must be kept perfectly Secret. I am Sir Your most Obe’d Serv / G. Washington”. Letter includes an original Crest Watermark. In good condition, with uneven edges, toning and dampstaining throughout, as one would expect of a letter being carried on field in the winter of 1777. Sold for $30,658.

Scared Governor Thomas Jefferson Autograph March 1781 Letter Signed Stating the the British Have Arrived in Virginia As He Readies for the Conflict of Lafayette’s Troops & Benedict Arnold’s Raiders

Thomas Jefferson autograph letter signed, “Th: Jefferson” as Governor of Virginia. From Richmond, Virginia, on 21 March 1781, Jefferson writes to General George Weedon regarding Benedict Arnold’s raid on Richmond in January; here, Jefferson offers strategies to prepare his men to face the turncoat traitor. With limited knowledge of the whereabouts of the various armies, Jefferson hatches a plan of action, writing: “…As I am certainly informed by Commodore Barron that the fleet arrived is British, I become anxious lest the expected French fleet not knowing of this incident may come into the bay. Should the Marquis Fayette be returned to the north side of the river, I make no doubt but he will have taken what cautionary measures are in his power and necessary. Should he not be returned I must beg the favour of you immediately to send off a vessel from York to the eastern shore (which is supposed to be practicable) with the enclosed letter to Col. Avery, the purport of which is to send out two good lookout boats from the seaside of that shore to apprize the French commander, should he be approaching, of the situation of things here. You will, of course, caution the master of the vessel to destroy the letters confided to him in case of inevitable capture…” Unbeknownst to Jefferson, the French and British had shown up and fought the Battle of Cape Henry the week prior. Measures 7.25″ x 9″. Single page letter has toning, some separation to horizontal fold, and seal hole, else near fine. Published in the “Papers of Thomas Jefferson,” 5:203. Sold for $25,000.
