Here is a neat 10 dollar Confederate bill series of 1863 showing the South Carolina state capital.  The note is in good to very good condition.  On the reverse of the note is written:

            “Lt. Col. Louis Schaffner

              To His Dear Mother

              Salonie Schaffner

              Rock Island Barracks

              Rock Island, Ill.

              January 3^rd, 1864”

 Lt. Col. Schaffner was apparently visiting the prison and got (or bought) this $10 Confederate note from a prisoner and sent it home as a souvenir to his mother.  Later Schaffner became Lieutenant Colonel of the 153^rd Illinois Infantry.  He probably meant to write 1865 instead of 1864 as the year had just begun.  A neat relic!  Written in red ink the inscription is rather difficult to read, but with the color enlargement that we will send with the bill it will be great for display!
