Stamp tied by March 17 circular datestamp on cover addressed to Sgt. Henry H. Mason, Co. A, 47th Massachusetts Regiment, Gen. Banks’ Division, New Orleans, Louisiana. Pencil notation on reverse listing a nine-day menu: Sunday beef soup, Monday baked beans, Tuesday roast beef, Wednesday pea soup, Thursday rice, Friday baked beans, Saturday beef soup, Sunday beef soup, Monday pea soup.
This menu suggests a frugal fare unlikely to reflect the normal diet of Company A, 47th Massachusetts Regiment, to which Sgt. Henry Nason belonged, but more consistent with the diet received by enemy prisoners, even in well supplied occupation areas of the South.
Prisoners in New Orleans were housed from December 1863 to July 1865 in the New Orleans Customs House above the post office, with additional homes used for officer prisoners. Records state that 235 Confederate prisoners died while in the hands of the men of General Banks’ Division in the city.
