Lot 1580
Hardee, William Joseph. Clipped signature and rank matted and framed with a bust portrait cdv of Hardee in a U.S. Army uniform, overall size 8½ x 9". The signature ("W J Hardee") is on a 3 x 1¾" piece of paper, underneath the text "Hd 2nd Hardees corps April 2nd 1865. Reply forwarded". There is toning and one stain at the left edge of the piece, otherwise the signature sheet is in good condition. The cdv shows minor streaking and some plate imperfections but is in otherwise fine condition.
A great wardate clip, penned so close to the end of the conflict.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
