Lot 1034
Wayne, Anthony ["Mad Anthony"] (1745-1796), U.S. General in the Revolutionary War and in the Northwest Indian War (1793-1795), U.S. Representative from Georgia (1791-1792). Autograph Letter Signed, "Anty Wayne", one page, 8¼ x 13½ Head Quarters, 5 Mile Spring [near Cincinnati], October 9, 1793. Wayne writes to "Brigr. Genl. Wilkinson" giving orders to escort "Contractors’ Stores and Cattle" from Fort Hamilton to Fort Jefferson and gives orders for provisioning and commanding troops, mentioning specifically a Maj. Hunt and a Capt. Miller, and "the Legion", which was the newly formed Legion of the United States. A bit of uneven browning and minor splitting at folds, one of which passes through the "A" of the signature. An excellent war-related document from the Fallen Timbers Campaign.
