ANTI-SEMITIC POSTER Two-sided anti-Semitic poster, 23 x 16 in. on newspaper stock, on side bearing a caricature of a Jew reviewing a demolished city, with another scene showing a German soldier watching Jews working in the street. It is captioned: 'The punishment for criminal Judaism is inevitable...' and insists that only after Jews are forced to do 'hard, incessant work' will the world have peace. The verso of the poster shows orthodox Jews, a map showing the numbers of Jews in Europe, and photos of Churchill and his 'Jewish' cabinet. Folds, some toning, else very good.

THOMAS BRAGG (1810 - 1872) North Carolina lawyer and politician, brother of Gen. Braxton Bragg. Served in the Confederate States Cabinet as Attorney General from 1861-62. War-date A.L.S., 1p. 4to., Richmond, Feb. 19, 1862 to a man regretting that he had lost an invoice for provisions supplied and asking the amount due. He closes: '...The news from Tennessee is bad though I hope not as bad as is represented...' Near fine. Bragg is almost certainly referring to the Battle of Fort Donelson which had ended three days earlier. It was the first major Union victory in the Civil War and a major victory for Ulysses S. Grant. The losses of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson were disasters for the Confederates, opening the Cumberland River, an important avenue for the invasion of the South.

DESPERATE HOPE IN 1865 RICHMOND Good content war-date A.L.S. of one 'E. M. Garnett', possibly a relative of the generals of the same name, 1p. legal folio, Richmond, Jan. 14, 1865 expressing his optimism at what at that time was a doomed 'lost cause'. Garnet writes a cousin, in part: '...The people of Richmond seem quite gloomy after the defeat of Hood & the occupation of Savannah by Sherman but I think they are rapidly recovering. Our returned prisoners are in fine spirits at the declining prospects of the North, & say if we will only hold out a little longer all things will be right. The North will never stand conscription, & they will soon have to resort to it, to keep up their armies. Old Frank Blair departs this morning for Washington, his mission is not known beyond the President & the Cabinet, & there are all sorts of rumors in circulation about his interview with Seddon...' Garnett closes his letter citing outlandish prices for tea and coffee in the southern capital. Some fold splits, a few repaired with tape on verso, folds, still very good. Francis Blair, Sr. had met with Jefferson Davis and travelled to Washington to attempt to negotiate a peace with Lincoln. Lincoln would have no part of it, and Blair's mission ended in failure.
