Washington County $2.00 Feb 28, 1862 #239A Brenham, Texas Printed on blue paper with TWO in read tint plate. Over 95 percent of the men in this county supported secession. Many volunteered for service in the Confederacy. Two companies were raised in this county. Co E of Brenham and Co F of Longpoint were part of the Fifth Texas Cavalry. The "Dixie Blues" of Hood's Texas Brigade also came from this county. This is an issued note. The remainder notes were on white paper and issued notes of that variety are quite scarce. This note has uneven but complete borders. There is some light discoloration from being carried in a leather wallet at some point in time. There are a couple ink spots. There is a vignette of a printer at left. On the back is TEXAS in green ink. This note is a solid Fine (+) Plus in my opinion. $170.00 front back
