1864 Civil War Union Soldier’sLetter—Writer Describes Battle Involvement . A letter written by a Union soldier with a letterlocation of Fredericksburg Virginia, and letter is dated 05/16/1864. Thesoldier describes a battle in which he was involved, and that he believed thebattle occurred on May 10 1864—from my research the Battle of SpotsylvaniaCourt House was fought May 8-21, 1864 near Fredericksburg, so what he describesmay have been this battle. He also talks about visiting the cemetery inFredericksburg where George Washington’s mother is buried and visiting hertomb. Because the letter was written with a hard lead pencil, the writing is quite light but fully legible. Overall condition of letter is good with some expected age conditions—theright and left sides of the horizontal fold crease have separated leaving onlythe center fold crease holding the letter together. Estimated value: $25-$50. Wouldmake a very good addition to any collection.

Please Read All Terms Carefully before offerding

Shipping Fees

If there is ashipping fee associated with this item, and if you purchase more than one itemwhich have shipping fees, I do combine fees to lower them as much as possible. Ido ship all items USPS First Class mail. So, if the item package weighs 1 ounceor less, the USPS rate for this domestically is 46c, and there is no trackingnumber available at the First Class rate for what USPS considers letter sizeenvelope. Tracking numbers are only available for what USPS considers FirstClass package size envelopes, and the rate through \'s deal with USPS is$1.69 for the first 3 ounces. In order for me to continue shipping so many ofmy items FREE, they have to be shipped at the 46c rate.

Cancellations & Descriptions

If the listeditem is a used stamp, all cancellations should be considered to be blackcolored unless otherwise noted to be another color.

Finally,there are times where I might miss something in a description which isnoticeable in the picture or pictures, and then there are times when somethingmay not show in the picture or pictures but is pointed out in the description. So, it is important to definitely reviewboth the description and the picture, not just one or the other.

Also, onFDCs, covers and other certain items I am now including an estimated value ofthe item which is based on research I conduct on as well as other onlinesites that are retailing various items that fall somewhere within the realm ofphilately/postal history I tend to sell. I am working to make these estimatesfairly realistic, and trying to do it on the conservative side. Please considerthem estimates and nothing more if you would.

Please Note: You are buying based on thedescription above, which is my personal visual perception of the lot, and thepictures posted with this listing. Please read the following carefully:Although I make every effort to correctly describe or attribute items,occasionally description errors do happen, and in such cases I always accept anitem back and will make full refund so long as I am notified of the situationwithin fourteen days of lot receipt.

If you arebuyer who is seeking absolute perfection with the item you are looking to offeron, please contact me before offerding detailing the imperfections you do notwant the item to have. I have a number of buyers who do just this, and ithelps me greatly in making sure they get what they want.

Second, iffor any reason there is a problem with an item after the sale, please contact me immediately by email,before doing anything else, so that I can work with you to fix the problem asbest possible. As nearly all my buyers will attest, I am very straight forwardwith problems. Because I ship nearly all of my items USPS First Class mail (the1 ounce 46c domestic rate for the most part), over past 1.5 years about oneitem a month, sometimes two, will go missing in the USPS system. Sounds like itis a lot, but I have shipped 300-500 items a month over the past 1.5 years, soI guess my USPS shipping losses are to be somewhat expected. Also, if it is a screw up on my part (don\'tlike making mistakes but I do), I will admit to this and again do my best towork it out with you.

Payment

At this time, I onlyaccept PayPal. Also note that if you decide to pay by PayPal eCheck, I willship your item only after your eCheck clears through PayPal. Payment would be appreciated within 5business days of sale end. If you need more time than this, please email mewith expected payment date. A good example of this is: I have many buyers whooffer in a subsequent sale or sales I am holding, and they email to let meknow this so that all items they win can be combined into one shipment whichmeans payment will be delayed until the subsequent sale or sales end.

Thanks foryour interest and patronage.
