letter from a friend in Alabama, who
has in his possession The original manu-
SCRIPT of the constitution of the Con-
federate States; the first bond ever
issued by the Confederate government,
and the original message of President
Davis to the Confederate Congress,
nominating bis Cabinet. These are
precious documents, and the owner,
while prizing item very highly, asked
bis friends here to ascertain what
pecuniary value would attach to them
now. There is no doubt that they
would command high price from
some historical society, but it would
seem that the Confederate Museum ct
Richmond should endeavor to secure
these papers at any cost.
