Fremont, three feature P. G. T. Beauregard, usually mocking his name, and one has a portrait of Benjamin Butler in civilian clothes. One card shows an Uncle Sam-like figure working a rope - making machine that is converting hemp directly into hangman's nooses. The wheel he turns is labeled "Hemp for traitors - South or North". Another titled "Baltimore Quiet" shows a cannon pointed at a man picking up stones while troops march in the background. On another, two slaves are shown dancing over the caption, "Bress de Lor, we am Contraban". Two refer to the division of the state of Virginia. One shows a soldier pointing his bayonet at another soldier with the head of an ass. It is captioned "The attack at "Man-asses-gap" Junction". A number are decorated with flags. Two refer to Great Britain. All of the envelopes are Union oriented and are exuberantly anti-Confederate.
