Autograph letter signed to "Dear Wilson," Camp John Hay, 25 February 1912, 5 pages, 4to, on rectos only, lower part of first page evenly darkened, otherwise in fine condition.

A chatty letter, describing the purchase of a naval vessel, seawall construction, problems with horses and the doings of some fellow officers: "Give Reed all the support you can. I sincerely hope his health holds out, ...I told him (confidentially) to use every effort to exchange those prisoners from Daho (47) for guns...Please look into the prison management and see if those prisoners are receiving proper exercise and treatment...I am in for a months stay in Bontoo...Both the Governor General and General Bell have fixed it up and there's no getting out of it. I shall be back..." Autograph letters of Pershing are relatively uncommon -- PERSHING. Portrait photograph signed, n.p., n.d., 13 x 9 in., neatly inlaid to a larger sheet, boldly signed in ink in blank lower margin.
