Here is a wonderful ALS from C. G. Memminger on “Confederate States of America, Treasury Department, Montgomery” stationary.   Montgomery was the first Confederate capitol and any “imprinted” stationary from there is very desirable!  Memminger is writing to South Carolina Governor Pickens, acknowledging his letter of recommendation for a Mr. Alexander to be appointed a Collector at Sabine Pass.  The letter is written in nice dark ink on just one side so that it is very frame-able.  The letter is in fine condition and was taken out of the Governor’s office in Columbia before it was burned! 

                                                    Confederate States of America,
                                                                            Treasury Department,
                                                                    Montgomery, Apr. 19, 1861

        My Dear Governor

                    Your letter of 13 Inst. recommending Mr. Alexander as 

        Collector at Sabine Pass is just received.  If the appointment

        were in my hands, I would with pleasure take the gentlemen

        you have named.  The Law places at Sabine a Deputy

        Collector who is subordinate to the Collector at Galveston.  I

        will refer your letter to him, and I would recommend the

        friends of Mr. Alexander to apply for his nomination by

        James Sorley the Collector of Galveston.  Had I known your

        wishes, when Sorley was here, I would have executed them. 

        I will delay any confirmation to give you time.

                                    Very truly yrs,

                                                    C.G. Memminger

                                                    Gov. Pickens

                                                    Charleston
