CSA Army Cover AF161

AF161

CSA #12c (AD) (4-Margin Greenish-Blue) tied by a partial strike of an Army of Northern Virginia Field Grid Cancel. Orange paper cover addressed to Mrs. B. J. Riley, Westville PO Simpson Co., Miss. Company B 16th Miss Inf was known as the Westville Guard from Simpson County, Miss and was an ANV unit throughout the war. Private Franklin L. Riley is listed as the only Riley on the roster of that unit. Cover very likely is from Private Riley to perhaps his mother but cannot be absolutely sure. Private Riley was wounded at Sharpsburg 9/17/1862 but survived the war and was captured at Petersburg 4/2/1865. Cover is very clean and neat but with part of top backflap missing.
