War-date Confederate prisoner of war Autograph Letter Signed, “ D.M. McRae” Co. B 13 th Mississippi Infantry, POW at Knoxville, 1p. quarto, Division 31 Fort Delaware, November 24, 1864, with cover, it reads in part: “...I have not heard from St. Mosley since he left. You spoke in your letter of sending your photograph. He was expecting it before he left and as it did not come he requested me to take charge of it when it come to hand. If you wish to send it to me I will take charge of it and carry it to him when I am exchanged. I believe it the only safe way for him to get it. The picture you drawn in your imagination in regard to myself was not right. I have fair complexion, blue eyes, dark hair, and six feet-one inch high. Will you give me the name of some friend who will furnish me with some money...A little money is great help here...” Fine.
