The envelope has a image of a tree where all the branches end in a Union flag, with the abreviation of all the states below them. There is also the word Union across the top colored to look like a flag. The caption reads "Traitor I spare that Tree, Cleave not a single bough In youth it shelter'd me, And I'll protect it now"
