    Outstanding write-up, @Collecting Nut! You've done a very good job researching it, too, as far as I can tell? Since I love history, very enjoyable reading. Looking forward to what else you have?

    You did your due diligence and the document needs no further authentication. Some people would argue until they are blue in the face in an attempt to bring someone's work down. GREAT CSA! Unless @lettow has info that he can present for his side of the argument it appears he just likes to start an argument.
    Great work Collecting Nut.

    Not the first time and probably won’t be the last. Some folks ignore history while others embrace it.

    Not to take sides, but @lettow is the last member I’d ever accuse of ignoring history.

    It’s just the recent posts I’ve done on CSA notes have resulted in negative comments from him.

    Here is the example of Confederate note T-39 that is in my collection. I don't have any of the really big rarities. This one was signed by W.T. Goodwin who was CAS deposit and collection agent. I find this series notes (T-39, 40 and 41) with their interest paid stamps on them to be quite interesting.

    That is awesome! What a wonderful feeling to actually hold a piece of our nation's history in one's hand. That is fantastic. Thank you for posting these pictures, I am truly in awe, I really like to see stuff like this coming to light. It truly is a remarkable specimen. Again, thank you for sharing it.

    Thank you. It’s nice to hear that other feel the same way I do. I have posted other notes before and I’ll be posting others in the future. I have one very special note that I’m working on and I just bought two more last weeks. I hope to have them in my possession next week. The special note is extremely rare while the other two are much more common but they struck my interest.

    Welcome to CT. :)

    I am not questioning who Hoge was nor what he did for the Confederacy. You asserted as fact that this note was paid to Hoge for work he did for the Confederacy. None of the documentation you provided demonstrates conclusively that this note was received by him for any transaction with the Confederate government.

    If you have a document that shows this note was received by him directly from the Confederate government or for a specific transaction, why would you not show that document?

    Contrary to what another poster stated, the last thing I look for is an argument. But, I also believe in only showing concrete historical fact. What you have shown so far as to the connection between this note and any specific transaction Hoge was involved with is speculative at best.
