Re: 2nd Mississippi Letter & Flag

Ed,

The flag for the Page 22 listing is more than likely their ANV silk issue battle flag from late November, 1861. The unit was in Virginia when those were given out and they wore out pretty quickly and were largely replaced in mid-1862 bu wool bunting flags from the Richmond Depot (1st, 2nd and 3rd Bunting issues) so I really think it is this flag that was sent back.
