Much more content in this 12 page issue. There are 2 pages that should be considered irregular. They were cut closely at the edge which causes the loss of some of the letters. The detraction is minimal and these pages are not of the prime content. Overall the newspaper is in crisp, very fine condition. Excellent battle of Chancellorsville issue.
