- Lot Description
ALS, 1p, 5 x 8 in. Beauvoir, Miss., Feb. 2nd, 1889. Signed Jefferson Davis. Addressed to Col. James Buckner, but the only person we found by this name was James Buckner Barry (1821-1906), who was a Confederate Officer. Davis writes:
Please accept my thanks for your kind letter of the 29th ult[imo]. and for the interesting and valuable slips enclosed, which though you did not request it, I take it for granted you desire should be returned. Like yourself I feel that the memories of the past are sad, but proud of the righteousness of our cause & the Knightly manner in which it was sustained.
Beauvoir estate, just outside Biloxi, MS, was bequeathed to the Davises by Sarah Anne Ellis Dorsey, a wealthy widow who had heard of Davis' plight after the war. She gave him access to a small cabin initially where he could write. When Ms. Dorsey died in 1879, the Davis family was already living at Beauvoir.Heavy toning; folds as expected. Top and bottom fold separated.Condition
