c1916 US War Department asking General Stuart Heintzelman to be Russia Attache

Description

Letterhead of War Department, Office Of The Chief Of Staff, Washington.  Dated Sept 24 - sender was C Crawford.
Crawford is asking Heintzelman if he would like to be the Military Attache to St. Petersburg, and that Michie recommends you (General Robert Michie).
Crawford notes Miles wants someone to come over before he leaves, so as to put him in touch with the Russian Army people. (Lt. Sherman Miles - US Military Observer in Russia in 1916).
I don't believe Heintzelman accepted the offer, becoming quite heavily involved in WWI.
Fascinating piece of military history.
Condition is very good.  Guaranteed  genuine as described.  Registered APS Dealer.
Notes: often I include multiple images of the lot to give the full flavor-the lot description will indicate whether just one or several items are being offered - too, these images are rarely the exact size of the item itself.  All auctions will run their full time allotment - any pre-auction closing offers, though appreciated, will be respectfully declined.
If you have questions regarding the item, shipping, payment options, etc - please don’t hesitate to ask!
Shipping will be combined for multiple purchases.
Please note the following for shipments outside the US: on single or combined items totaling over , I may require Registration, which would be an additional cost to be added to the invoice total.
Kansas residents will automatically have Sales Tax added to their invoice (unless of course, there is a Resale #).
Thank you for bidding!
PS: Do you have collections of covers and paper you would like to sell?
