Item# 17229
Price: $200
Outgoing blockade-run use from New York to Charleston via French Man-of-War. Cover endorsed to [Lt.] G. Didier of the French man-of-war Milan, from New York to Charleston, containing a letter between Charleston Unionist James Louis Pettigru and his daughter Caroline, handcarried by Lt. Didier. On occasion, a foreign ship was allowed through the blockade. Letter no longer accompanies but the letters are published, in Life, Letters and Speeches of James Louis Pettigru. This one contained excellent content (page 463) including "in a civil war no man's honor can be reproached for refusing to draw his sword," also, "As to your mama...She is a good deal scandalized by your partiality to the North; so different from her feelings which are thoroughly Southern." Part of back flap missing and large sealed tear on face. The Milan came through the blockade to Charleston in December 1862 to deliver the French consul and left in mid-January 1863 for New York, a report from the USS Powhatan off Charleston discusses the entry of the Milan. Ex Walske with his description on verso. $200.
