Called the ‘Florence Nightingale’ of the Confederate States Army (1818–1890), Hopkins helped establish hospitals for sick and wounded soldiers with the profits she received after selling her estates in New York, Virginia, and Alabama, whose residents contributed largely to assist in her efforts. By June of 1861, Hopkins was appointed chief matron of all state hospitals. Bank check, 6.75 x 2.25, filled out and signed by Hopkins, “Mrs. A. T. Hopkins,” payable to Pleasant’s & Frazier for $218.60, August 13, 1862. A vertical fold, a small tear to the top edge, and a few small cancellation cuts and notations, otherwise fine condition.
