Had It... And Then It's Gone

I'd seen these a handful of times from someone I occasionally buy from. He had like 8 for $8, but most were too water-damaged for my collection.

I made a friend on a site I moderate and sent him a letter/postcard one day, so I have his address. He likes war-related stuff, so I thought of him when I picked these up last night.

I took them home, took very quick pics, brought his address with me and mailed these off within an hour of purchase.

I think he'll like them, but they will be a surprise.

From Abbott's Civil War, 1865.
