Richmond, VA Stationary

Would anyone happen to have information regarding a Stationary and/or Printer doing business in Richmond in 1861 under the name G. T. Baldwin? I have recently obtained a letter written by a Louisiana soldier on paper that was from this supplier. There is an illustration of a 12-star First National flying above a cannon. An inscription to the right of the illustration reads:

"Stand firmly by your cannon,
Let ball and grape-shot fly,
And trust in God and Davis
But keep your powder dry".

"Confederate States of America" and the year "1861" is also preprinted on the stationary for a heading.

Any help is appreciated.
