Manuscript poem in an unknown hand, one both sides page, 8 x 10, no date. Handwritten poem entitled “A Letter from Jim Crow.” In part: “Pray what’s the reason of this wild commotion / And all these cries of national devotion? / I see no armies—hear no hostile firing; / To me this hub-bub is extremely tiring…Lee was tainted with a traitor’s shame, / Sherman & Sheridan their nation’s glory— / Weyler condemned to adorn Inferno’s story. / If you the meaning of this can show, / you’ll gratify a mystified Jim Crow.” Intersecting folds with moderate partial tape-repaired separations, otherwise very good condition. RR Auction COA.
