CIVIL WAR PATRIOTIC COVERS: THE WYMAN CORRESPONDENCE ~ Richard Micchelli
A number of the letters to Jane E. Wyman (née Jane. E. Prout), are addressed to her in
Fall River, Massachusetts, which is where her original home was. It appears that these letters
may have been written close together, perhaps to Mrs. Wyman on a visit home. John Wyman
would be buried in Fall River in 1881, 4 as was his wife many years later in 1898.

The year date on these covers is difficult to read. This one shows a portrait of Washington.
