Offered here is a 1p. partly- printed document, approx. 7-1/2" x 11-1/8", dated at Chester, C.H., South Carolina, Feb. 11, 1865, with printed heading: "CAVALRY HORSES FOR COMMAND OF GENERAL HAMPTON", in which a horse, belonging to B. Mobley, is appraised by two men chosen by Mr. Mobley, Capt. Barber, of Co. B., 4th S.C. Cavalry, and by Gen. Wade Hampton, on behalf of the Quartermaster General of the Confederate States. The document reads: "1. CERTIFICATE OF APPRAISEMENT. We, the undersigned, chosen by B. Mobley & Capt. Barber, on the one part, and by General WADE HAMPTON on behalf of the Quartermaster-General of the Confederate States on the other part, being first duly sworn, do this 11th day of February, 1865, appraise the following horses, the property of the said B. Mobley, at the aggregate sum of Fourteen Hundred dollars, in currency, to wit: One (1) Grey Horse - $1400.00," signed by the two appraisers, O. Barber, and Wm. M. McDonald, and by a witness....[and] "3. RECEIPT FOR HORSES. RECEIVED at Chester C.H., on the 11th day of February, 1865, of B. Mobley, the horses set down in the above appraisement, for the use of the Cavalry of the Confederate States under the Command of General Hampton, to be paid for at the above appraisement, upon the presentation of this Voucher at the office of the Quartermaster-General of South Carolina in Columbia, by whom the said sum has been advanced for and in behalf of the Confederate States," signed: "O. Barber, Capt. Co. 'B', 4th S.C.C." (4th South Carolina Cavalry). Affixed at lower left is an approx. 5" x 3-1/2" paper, dated May 22, 1867, and signed by B. Mobley, which reads: "Messrs Hayne & Son will please pay to Porter & Conner the sum of ten - 64/100 Dollars due me for a horse sold to Hampton's Cavalry in 1865". An amazing aspect to this document is the fact that Mr. Mobley didn't receive his money until after the war! Apparently Columbia, S.C. fell to Gen. Sherman's forces before he could be paid, but Gen. Hampton, a true Southern Gentleman and man of honor, made sure that those who sold their horses to his command, were ultimately paid, and there is an attached slip of paper, signed by Mobley, dated May 22, 1867, - about 2 years after Gen. Johnston surrendered his forces, in which Mobley directs that the money, paid by Messrs Hayne & Son (handling these payments for Gen. Hampton), be paid to "Porter & Conner" (to whom Mobley likely owed money). The horse was appraised at $1,400 - a sign of the incredible depreciation in the value of Confederate currency in Feb., 1865, and Mobley ultimately received just $10.64 in U.S. money after the war. Folds, minor edge wear and small ink erosion holes, toning, otherwise very good. These documents come with: a 1p. ANS (on card), dated Washington July 28th 1886, 3 1/2" x 21/4", reading in full: "My Dear Miss Peck I regret that I cannot put you in the way of obtaining the letters you ask for & I am very Respy Yrs Wade Hampton." Mounting traces/ pencil notes on verso, stray mark on note side, otherwise very good. WADE HAMPTON (1818-1902) was a noted Confederate cavalry leader during the American Civil War and afterwards a politician from South Carolina, serving as its 77th Governor and as a U.S. Senator. Wade Hampton, a wealthy planter before the war, raised at his own expense "Hampton's Legion", at the beginning of the war; Hampton took part in many major battles of the war, being wounded five times (including at 1st Manassas and Gettysburg). He was later attached to J.E.B. Stuart's cavalry, and after Stuart's death, took command of Lee's Cavalry, with rank of Major General; Hampton also joined Gen. Johnston's forces with rank of Lt. General, and tried to stem Sherman's advance through the Carolinas. A fine combination of documents related to this distinguished Confederate officer..
