CSA #11 (AD) (4-Margin) tied by an Army of Tennessee Field Grid
Cancel. Blue paper cover with railroad address to Mrs. Henry L.
Muldrow, Tibbee Station M & O R R (Mobile & Ohio Railroad), Miss
Care of A. C. Jennings. “Tibbee” is lined through and the cover was
forwarded to Crawford, Miss with the addition of the small single rim
Tibbee Station, Miss CDS dated 20 JUL (1864) which also ties the stamp
and a manuscript “Forwarded Due 10” to assess the forwarding fee.
Period notation on the reverse “July 11th 1864” referring to the date of the
original letter confirms the 1864 usage. The cover was sent by Lt Col
Henry Lowndes Muldrow (1837-1905) of the 11th Miss Cav to his wife. In
July 1864, this unit was involved in the Atlanta Campaign. Very Fine
Cover.
