Important memento's of the Fall of Richmond and the Surrender
of Lee's Army at Appomatox. Firstly, a letter from Colonel A B
Lawrence, late Quartermaster 24th Army Corps USA, in a letter to
the Reverend Charles J Hill of Middletown Ct in 1880, Colonel
Lawrence writes; "This is to certify that the fragments of bunting
hereto attached is a piece of the Confederate Flag that had
floated over the Rebel Capitol in Richmond Va. Cut in pieces for
distribution as a significant memento of the War. 2 that the
Confederate notes are a part of the Funds of the Army
surrendered by General R E Lee at Appomatox and were
receipted for by me as such on account of the officers of the
disbursing department of that Army. signed A B Lawrence late
Chief Quartermaster 24th Army Corps"
Wonderful souvenir containing a piece of the National Flag of the
Confederacy flown over Richmond when it fell and two $10
Confederate notes of the funds of the Army of Northern Virginia
which Lee surrendered at Appomatox. You rarely see
documented pieces of such importance on the marketplace
anymore and these are attached to the letter documenting them
which were given to a Minister in Connecticut. Just spectacular.
Some splits in the letter at the folds due to age.
