Autograph letter signed

Title: to Marsena Rudolph Patrick

General Sykes writes from Headquarters, 5th Corps, to Patrick, Provost Marshal of the Army of the Potomac. Writes that a friend of his, Miss Mary Delaplane, wishes to go to Alexandria or Washington, D.C. to meet one of her brothers, who "has important business with her solely on family affairs." Remarks, "There are five sisters residing together- & no one to help them or give them advice- I will answer for their doing nothing prejudicial in any way to our cause." Requests a pass for Delaplane. One bust engraving of Sykes included as collateral.
