This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/31/2005

A good war-date letter, 2pp. 8vo., [N.P.], April 21, 1861, from Mary to her brother. She writes: "My dear Brother, Since I wrote you Civil War has commenced with all its horrors & the troops are leaving here daily... I will try to send you the paper & keep you posted. I am glad you are married & settled & that there will be no necessity for your going unless you are drafted. Let those who have brought the ruin on this country fight it out..." Great historic content.
