Re: Confederate States Depository Bonham,Texas

They are all rare.Probably about 70-140 have survived from Marshall.Tyler about 30-60.Houston 120-300.Shreveport 400-1,000..Surviving papers from Austin,Brownsville,Centerville,Columbia and Galveston are nearly unknown. Is probable Marshall may have been an important Texas Confederate Treasury Depository.A lot of business there.I can not recollect.Believe the Trans-Mississippi Post Office Department was in Marshall. I do recollect reading an article in the "Dallas Herald" that thousands of Confederate Treasury notes and bonds were burned at the Depository in Dallas.
