"Issued at New Iberia, LA" T41 $100 1862 PF-26 Cr. UNL PMG Choice Very Fine 35 EPQ.

The manuscript annotation on the back indicates that this note was issued at New Iberia, LA on February 9, 1863. This is a rare issuing location, with perhaps a dozen or so surviving examples known to Fricke in 2014. Camp Pratt, a large Confederate conscription and training camp, that also housed some Union prisoners, was located near New Iberia and its presence was probably the reason for notes being issued from here. The host note is printed on paper watermarked CSA in vertical block letters and has a printed "T" at the left edge of the hoer vignette. In addition to the manuscript date and place of issue entry, a large IP stamp usually associated with the Trans-Mississippi Department is present, paying interest to January 1, 1864 and 1865 (a "5" is boldly handwritten over the "4" of a stamped "1864" in the date). The note is well printed on bright paper and free of repairs or meaningful impairments.....
