CSA #12 (AD) (4-Margin) tied by the Army of Northern Virginia Field Target Cancel. Adversity Cover made from a printed but unused business voucher form displayed flapped down from the left upper corner. Addressed
to Mrs. J. C. Mansfield, Lumpkin, Stewart Co., Ga. There were two
Mansfield brothers in different units in the ANV from Lumpkin, Georgia
in 1864-1865. John B. Mansfield was in Co K 2nd Ga Inf and Henry H. Mansfield was a musician (entered service in 1861 as a 15 year old drummer boy) in Co E 31st Ga Inf.
Letter most likely sent back home to Lumpkin by one of these soldiers
as both survived the war. Minor reduction at left not affecting
anything. Very Fine. |
