Army of Northern Virginia Handstamp Field (Due) 10 mark (black “10”
in a circle). Addressed to Mr. Reuben Robinson, Martins Lime Kiln,
Stokes County NC. Endorsed at left “From Privat James Robinson Co H
22 regt NC Troops.” James Robinson age 22 enlisted as a private in Co H
22nd NC Inf 6/1/1861. He is listed as wounded in the left arm at
Gettysburg 7/2/1863 and captured as a POW at Jericho Mills, Va
5/23/1864. He was confined at Point Lookout until exchanged 3/18/1865.
Therefore this cover must date from late March or early April 1865 from
the Siege of Petersburg after Private Robinson was exchanged and rejoined
his unit. Cover with just a little edge wear and a little light foxing and a
minimal reduction at the right but still retains a clean appearance.
