1862 Union Soldier’s Letter – Henry Lamoreaux, 103rd New York Infantry
The presently offeredletter exhibits signs of expected period use, followed by many years ofreasonably good storage. Light toning is noted across the entire surface,imparting an off-white hue to the paper. This toning is somewhat morepronounced at the edges and along the postal folds. Several stains can be seen,none of which are particularly dark or large enough to seriously impact theoverall eye-appeal of the piece. Several of the aforementioned folds haveadversely affected the integrity of the paper, with small holes being seen atthe junctions when the piece is held to the light. The contrast is average, asis the penmanship of the author. Executed in period ink on blue-lined whitepaper, this piece measures approximately 5 x 7⅞ inches when folded and 7⅞ x 10⅛inches when laid flat. Any additional questions regarding condition should beaddressed before purchasing.
