CSA #2 Paterson (margins just a little irregular) tied by a full strike of a
large Grid Cancel consistent with the Army of Northern Virginia Field
Cancel Dietz Type ANV 4UG used in 1864. A stone lithograph stamp with
an army field cancel while not unknown is certainly not seen very often.
Addressed to Mr. Isaac McReynolds, Lebanon, Russell County, Virginia.
Period notation on the face of the cover gives the date as “August 13th” but
does not give the actual year. The addressee had four sons who served in
the Confederate Army -- Robert C. McReynolds (deserted in late 1864),
George W. McReynolds (killed at Middle Creek KY in January 1862),
Solomon S. McReynolds (survived the war), and Wilson P. McReynolds
(survived the war). The first three sons all served in the 29th Va Inf and
Wilson served in the 21st Va Cav. Not sure who actually sent this cover as
there is no letter with it. Very clean cover and an unusual army field usage.
