Description

(CIVIL WAR--CONFEDERATE.) Confederate postmaster's appointment notification letter from early in the war. Partly printed Document Signed by B.N. Clements as chief of the appointments bureau, completed for Josephus Grabel as postmaster of Beech Spring, VA. Richmond, VA, 17 October 1861 This letter appoints a new Confederate postmaster and authorizes him to "take charge of the public property belonging to the Post Office, aforesaid, such as desks, cases, boxes, tables . . . and stationery." The printed form is datelined "Montgomery, Ala." but corrected in manuscript to "Richmond, Va." Most surviving examples of this form ("No. 6") have the dateline blank, and are completed in Richmond.
