ORIGINAL HISTORICAL EPHEMERA


CIVIL WAR ERA YANKEE GENTLEMAN WRITES CHEEKILY TO A YOUNG GIRL LOVER:

"...YOU TOUCHED MY HAND WHEN WE PARKED THAT NIGHT..."

"...DREAMED YOU KISSED ME IN FORGIVENESS, AS DID OUR SAVIOR JUDAS"

"...IN CASE YOU TAKE ARSENIC I CAN ADMINISTER AN ANTIDOTE..."

"GRANT IS A PATRIOTIC HERO AND MUST BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT"

"HAVE AN IDEA THAT IT IS NO WORSE FOR MRS. LINCOLN TO LIVE ECONOMICALLY THAN FOR THE REST OF COMMUNITY-CONGRESS APPROPRIATED $100.000 FOR HER SUPPORT SOON AFTER HER HUSBAND'S DEATH AND IF SHE HAS SPENT THAT SUM SHE OUGHT TO SELL HER FINE CLOTHES. SHE IS AN EXCEEDINGLY COARSE, VULGAR WOMAN. HOW ABRAHAM WAS EVER WRAPPED INTO MARRYING HER IS PAST THE WIT OF MAN TO DISCOVER."
