Virginia Executive Department all-over illuminated semi-official hand-carried to Miss Hettie Cary, Clifton House, Richmond, Virginia. Clifton House was a Civil War hospital. See my June 2007 column "Hetty likes them that way: gilt edged with stars!" for the tragic love story of Hetty Cary and Gen. John Pegram. They were engaged for three years and married only three weeks to the day before he was sadly struck down leading a charge at Hatcher’s Run in February 1865, so close to the end of the war. Superb, Ex Cantey, Northcutt and Burton. $300.
