Confderate Woman Wants to Sell her Plantation

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/31/2006

Autograph Letter not signed but complete, 2p. octavo, and reads in part: “...Please ask Bradely to persuade Mr. War to take my plantation, he would only have to pay me $10,200 and I will take Confederate money...if Mr. Libert should refuse Confederate money, I would have to report him to Jeff Davis as disloyal...If the Federalists get here again I will not tell them I have sold the land they could but burn the houses & fences and in all probability would not do that, unless they knew it was owned by a prominent Southern man. They would not be inclined to destroy what belonged to a poor woman. Of course if we are to be conquered it would be in danger...I bought seven hands from Capt. Allison and as Mr.s Cabamiss only told me to get six for her...” VG. Interesting.
