White House of the Confederacy, Richmond, Virginia, circa 1915-1930. Message reads: "Just stayed for the night. Will write soon. Lincoln." Caption reads: "Beautiful and Historical Richmond, Va. Series No. 13. White House of the Confederacy (Twelfth and Clay Sts.) Richmond, VA. Formerly a private residence, it was purchased in 1862, by citizens of Richmond, for the use of the Confederate Government, and occupied during the war by President Davis and his family. Here his daughter 'Winnie' was born, and here his little son, Joe, was killed by a fall from the rear porch. It was visited by Abraham Lincoln in a few days after the evacuation. It is now a Confederate Museum, each of the thirteen Confederate States having in it a memorial room. In front of the mansion is the propeller shaft of the 'Merrimac,' the former name of this vessel being 'Virginia,' whose famous engagement with the 'Monitor' revolutionized the naval warfare the world over."
