This collection consists primarily of covers from the Civil War period, combined six pieces of unrelated correspondence. The envelopes were collected from a wide number of cities, and both southern and northern states are represented. Most of the envelopes are illustrated, and these illustrations are most often patriotic in nature, featuring flags, soldiers, military leaders, quotations, and poetry. While many of these envelopes exhibit canceled postage, a few contain free franks, and at least one was unsent. The disposition of the contents of these envelopes is largely unknown. In the case of items #8, #28, #29, and #36, there is a letter to accompany the envelope. Items #37 and #58 consist of letters without accompanying envelopes.
