War-date letter signed "Nannie G. Figgatt," 8pp. on two identical sheets of captured Union patriotic stationery with an engraving of "Antietam" scene, 8vo., Fincastle, Virginia, November 27, 1863, to husband Private Charles Figgatt, Co. "B," 1st Virginia Cavalry, no location given, reading, in part, "…I welcomed a dear bro' from a 4 mo's imprisonment…Col. Harman with whom he roomed cried like a child when he left…Your Pa told me to tell you to 'go to a camp of instruction before you accepted a Lieutenancy'…". Mrs. Figgatt also relates in detail the failing health of their young son, Meade. Private Figgatt had earlier served as a clerk at Stonewall Jackson's headquarters. Very good condition.
