The letter was written in 1900 by Elijah W. Penny to his son.  It was sent from Topeka KS to Colorado.  The post mark and stamps are on the envelop.  The letter references battles the general participated in.  I visited the grave of the general in 1987 in Topeka, but only discovered the letter recently.  The letter recounts some of the details about the war and battles he fought in.  I could not attach the photos I took to his posting, but I did take several.

This was owned by a life-long bachelor who collected all sorts of fun items until he finally married  for a brief period.  His wife died suddenly and he went back to bachelorhood.  We suspect that this was probably purchased by the happy couple due to its delicate and feminine nature while everything else he owned was quite masculine.  Unfortunately we have no idea of dates or other family history.  Even Replacements.com came up empty handed when asked so if you can help us out you're a lot more informed than even the leaders in the china industry.  Thank you in advance for your help!
