Daniel Bedinger Lucas letter and stamped envelope, whats the value? Famous poet

Question:

Daniel Bedinger Lucas letter and stamped envelope, whats the value? Famous poet and senator dated 1857.?

I'm trying to find a value for a letter and stamped envelope i have. It was sent to Mr Daniel Bedinger Lucas Esq. The date on the letter looks to be 1857, the stamp is a 3 cent stamp, # 10 or 11, i dont know. I just got the letter from my grand father who just passed and have not had time to do more research on its value. Any ideas on where i can find out more about its value? The letter is from his cousin and mentions many names, cousin mary washington, cousin Jefferson...the letter is very interesting...HELP!! Thank you!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Value is in the genealogy, not what you can stuff in your wallet.

I suggest post the genealogical information at the surname message boards at ancestry.com, rootsweb.com, genforum.com.
