Description
John Chassaigne Autograph Letter Signed. Four integral pages written on pages one and two with an address on page four, 8.5" x 1.25", New Orleans, May 10, 1848. The last page has a Galveston postmark. Some paper loss to the last leaf, else, near fine. Chassaigne writes to Mr. W. C. Abbott in Liberty, Texas complaining that he was deceived as to his usefulness when he visited that town the previous spring. On that trip, guerrillas took Chassaigne and his goods were stolen. He recovered his goods the next day, but sustained a $12,000 loss. Still, business was good. Chassaigne writes of settling accounts, but in land rather than with cash. The letter contains a considerable amount of business details. Interesting. From the Taking of Texas Collection.Auction Info
