Letter Written in Cipher on Mourning Paper by Rose Greenhow.
Rose O'Neal Greenhow was a spy for the Confederacy during the American Civil War. As a young woman in Washington, she befriended many influential politicians, including President James Buchanan and South Carolina Senator John C. Calhoun, who played a role in shaping her dedication to the South. During the Civil War, Greenhow wrote ciphered (secret code) messages to the Confederates, providing information about Union military plans. Confederate President Jefferson Davis credited her with helping the South win the First Battle of Bull Run. Greenhow sent a message about Union troop movements in time for Brigadier Generals Pierre Beauregard and Joseph E. Johnston to meet at Manassas, Virginia. A young woman working with Greenhow named Betty Duvall carried the message wrapped in a tiny black silk purse and hidden in a hair bun. Head of U.S. Intelligence Service Allan Pinkerton observed Rose Greenhow as part of his counterintelligence activities and found sufficient evidence to place her under house arrest. She later was transferred to prison and then deported to Richmond, Virginia. Shown here is one of her encoded letters.

u America and Great Britain Many people do not realize that hitherto all the active political relations between Great Britain and America have been hostile relations writes William Archer in the Westminster Gazette Twice the two Nations have been at war and there are not a few Americans who are fond of boasting that in both of these conflicts they whipped us Our normal level relations have no doubt been amicable enough but when ever the level has been broken it has been by incidents which left a certain legacy of illfeeling The general attitude of Britain during the great Civil War was anything but j sympathetic Once we were on the verge of a rupture over the case of Mason and Slidell The affair of the Alabama was exceedingly disagreeable the Venezuelan squabble led us not perhaps to the brink of hostilities but some way in that direc tion The incident of Manila Bay is perhaps the only international episode of any note that has definitely tended to draw the two Nations together Of course this does not mean that there has not been real friendship between them There has never been a moment when thousands of Englishmen and
