Jefferson Davis autograph quotation signed from his book, ”The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government.” This lengthy quotation from the former Confederate President’s memoir was made ”To the Ladies of the Fair at Bangor, with the respects of Jefferson Davis.” In full: ”That the affection, the mutual desire for the mutual good, which existed among our Fathers, may be weakened in succeeding generations by the Denial of right and by hostile demonstrations, until the equality guaranteed but not secured within the Union, may be sought for without it; must be evident to even a careless observer of our race. It is time to be up and doing. There is yet time to remove the causes of dissension and alienation, which are now distracting, and have for years past divided the country.” Single page measures 5” x 6.5”. Undated, though circa 1885. Matted with an engraving of Davis to an overall size of 13.75” x 11”. Toning to paper, otherwise near fine. Sold for $1,562.

Interesting autograph letter signed by former Confederate President Jefferson Davis, in response to an ”infamous assault” made on him by General William Tecumseh Sherman. Dated 6 November 1884 from Beauvoir, Mississippi, Davis responds to a speech that Sherman made in which he accused Davis of not only secession, but conspiracy. An excerpt from the speech reads, ”…I have seen letters that few others have seen, and have heard conversations that cannot be repeated, and I tell you that Jeff. Davis never was a secessionist. He was a conspirator. He did not care for separation from the United States. His object was to get a fulcrum from which to operate against the United States, and if he had succeeded he would to-day be the master spirit of the continent and you [Northern citizens] would be slaves…” After reading this speech, published in the St. Louis Republican, Davis writes to his friend, Thomas Reynolds, former Confederate governor of Missouri during the Civil War: ”…The infamous assault which, by published report, Genl Sherman recently made upon me has seemed to me to require a very pointed retort and I have therefore addressed the enclosed letter to the Editor of the St. Louis Republican, but as I have not the presence of his personal acquaintance it may be that he would not be disposed to insert it unless presented by someone with whom he was acquainted. Will you therefore do me the favor to send, or hand it to him so that the notice of Sherman’s speech may go out through the same channel which bore the slander…Jefferson Davis”. Two page letter on a single sheet measures 5” x 8”. Mr. Reynolds apparently gave the letter to the Editor, as docketing regarding its receipt appears on the verso. In very good condition, with interesting post-Civil War content as the country sought to understand and lay blame for the devastating war. Sold for $938.
Autograph letter signed by Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy during the Civil War. Dated 7 August 1855, letter reads in full: ”Your departure was earlier than I supposed from your letter it would be, therefore I failed to see you. Yours from New York has been received and I reply, draw on me now for half the amount but I must ask you to wait until say the end of the month for the balance. Very truly yours, Jeffn Davis”. Single page written in black ink measures 8” x 9.75”. Intersecting folds with several pencil notations to top and a bit of light soiling, else very good condition. With PSA/DNA COA. Sold for $880.
Jefferson Davis endorsement signed as Secretary of War, dated 3 November 1855. Davis here endorses the opinion of Colonel H.K. Craig, the author of the three page letter. Craig gives his opinion on claims by inventor Eli Whitney, Jr. on ”improvements in the manufacture of Fire Arms”. Whitney was previously awarded a contract to manufacture rifles for the federal government and had applied to Davis for another contract. Letter reads in part, ”…In February 1853 Mr. Whitney preferred a similar claim to the War Department, using nearly the identical arguments in its favor…the contract there given to Mr. Whitney was intended to be a final one…” Davis signs on the verso, below the words ”Concurred in” written in another hand: ”Jefferson Davis / Sec. of War. / 3d. Nov. 1855.” Toning along folds of 7.75” x 9.75” 2pp. card style letter. Also tape repairs to tears. Overall in very good condition. Pre-certified by PSA/DNA. Sold for $832.
