Hello, All!
I'm working on writing about two brothers who served as guards at Andersonville with the 4th Georgia Reserves. In one of his letters home, the other brother writes, "Tell Pa to send me some money by West [a "servant" of the family's]. I have plenty of old issue but want him to send me some."
Does anyone know why there was apparently new script issued, and why he apparently couldn't use the older money? This letter is dated May, 1864, and in June, his sister replies and says, "P.S. Pa says he hasn’t any new issue and that you must exchange your money for the new issue."
Does anyone know what they are talking about?
