Four-Page Letter Concerning Slavery 1863
<B>A Four-Page Letter Concerning the "Divine Institution of Negro Slavery". </B></I> This December 20, 1863 letter from a Martin Smith to his mother in Tennessee was written during the middle of the war by Martin Smith, apparently a civilian during the war. The four page letter written on both sides of two pages speaks of “old Abe and his abolition crew”. Measuring 7½” x 9”, this is an interesting letter with commentary on the war. There is some foxing present and a slight water stain, none of which affect this letter.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
