CB35 CSA #12 (AD) (margins close left and bottom) tied by the manuscript postal markings “Saltville (Va) June 15 (1863).” Coarse paper homemade adversity cover addressed to C. Y. Thomas Esq, Agt Henry Co., Martinsville, Va. The addressee, C. Y. Thomas, was a prominent Virginia politician and a staunch Unionist but served Virginia as the Commonwealth Attorney during the war years and also as an agent distributing food and supplies in Henry County to needy familes of Confederate soldiers. After the war, Grant offered him the Military Governorship of Virginia, but he refused. Minor backflap opening tear but otherwise Very Fine. Cover originally included in the exhibit to show an example of the manuscript postal markings canceling the stamp. SOLD
