ALS signed “Varina Jefferson Davis,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 3.75 x 6, black-bordered letterhead, October 23, 1898. Letter to Cora Richardson, corresponding secretary of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. In part: “I am too crushed to count my loss now, but I know that my Darling went to her God pure and holy…I shall certainly have the title ‘Daughter of the Confederacy’ placed upon my child’s tomb and also upon a bronze tablet erected to her by a citizen of New Orleans whose friendship has contributed for years to make life less bitter to me and to her in the many trials we have sustained here. It is to be next to the window erected to her father’s memory in St Paul’s Church and will be a worthy memorial of her, it is now in the process of being completed. I never thought of leaving her Confederate title off her tomb except in the event of its not being a distinctive one which it could not be if there were from time to time successive to be nominated by heated canvassers, and bickerings innumerable. Then the title would have been better at and owed entirely and she would be still the beloved of her countrymen, a citizen of the Confederacy and the daughter of its only President.” In fine condition, with a mild shade of overall toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Davis’s hand.
