1917 World War I officer's cover sent by Brigadier General W.S. Scott to Philadlephia PA. Military postmark #700; with Scott's name in return address and signature as censor; appears to be in his handwriting. William Sherley Scott (1856-1941) graduated from West Point in 1880 and served in the Spanish American War as well as WWI, where he served as brigadier. He retired in 1920 and was a banker in Texas thereafter until his death. Highly unusual to see general's mail from WWI; cover with mounting stains on back.
