I just started a type collection of US and CSA notes a couple years ago. For my coin collection I avoid details-graded coins, but for the paper money I find myself making the occasional exception, and this note is one of those. The holder has the comment "Contemporary Annotation", and the annotation reads "I received this bill(?) while at Gloucester Point (Virginia) in 1861. It was the 1st money I ever earned and the 1st the Confederacy ever paid me. Th. W.(?) Walker". I had some Walker ancestors who were serving for the Confederacy in Virginia at this time, so the annotation caught my eye. While extremely unlikely this was actually an ancestor of mine, I decided to add this to my type collection.
