my US Army Brig.General little grouping I found

[Mark in Cleveland, Tn.]

Just a tease for the detailed pics and descriptionms to follow named to Brig.General Samuel Pickens Collins.. I got this because of his 1926 West Point (USMA) memorbilia that was in thius group, as West Point named to General is quite hard to find and add to collecting

Oh will be put up in the for sale section after I post mo pics

I read those love letters from the first one,from his soon to be wife, and after the first 12 had to quit, felt creepy reading them. They were buried together at Arlington National Cemetary side by side. The very first letter is a short one but wow!! she had this guy by the neck at first date, the letter was a followup to their first casual date with friends.
