Jane Brevard Darby scrapbook: Circular, July 4, 1863, 1 p. (entire top half missing), a reprint of the last ''Wallpaper Edition'' of the Vicksburg Daily Citizen of that date, regarding recent developments in the war: ''This paper is at present in duress and edited by a pink-nosed, slab-sided, toad-eating Yankee . . . It is reported in Washington today that two members of Hooker's staff were gobbled up by guerillas last night in the vicinity of Fairfax. . . the city of Darien, Georgia, was burned by the Federals on the 11th inst. and is now one plain of ashes and blackened chimneys. . . The banner of the Union floats over Vicksburg. Gen. Grant has . . . dined in Vicksburg, and . . . The 'Citizen' lives to see it. For the last time it appears on 'Wall Paper.' No more will it eulogize the luxury of mule meat and fricasseed kitten -- urge Southern warriors to such diet nevermore. This is the last wall-paper Citizen, and . . . will be valuable hereafter as a curiosity.'' [Separated from Box 3, File Folder 35; see Separation Sheet]
