<b>CW¥C¥Documents</b><hr><b>Message From 'President' Jefferson Davis </b>

<b>January 5, 1865, Confederate Imprint, 'MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT,' Choice Fine.</b>
4 pages, 9.25' x 6,' toned and chipped along the right edges, trimmed along the left and top edges. Signed in type by Jefferson Davis at Richmond, transmitting to the Confederate Senate & Congress a communication from Secretary of the Treasury, G.A. Trenholm, estimates of additional appropriations for the service of the agency of the Treasury of the Department West of the Mississippi, (Trans-Miss. Dept.) for the six months ending June 30, 1865. The next three pages are estimates submitted by various officials in the Treasury of the Trans-Miss. Dept., located in Marshall, Texas for salaries, supplies, expenses. Apparently, this is a very rare imprint, as one researcher (Crandall) could only find four copies!
