BE108

CSA #7 Horz Pair (4-Margin) tied by a weak strike of the BLUE Columbia SC CDS (date not apparent). Orange paper cover addressed to Mr. W. T. Nelson, Chester, So. Ca. On arrival in Chester, the cover was forwarded to Winnsboro, So. Ca. with the addition of the BLUE Chester CH SC DCDS with an APR 1863 date and manuscript “Ford 10” to assess the forwarding fee. On arrival in Winnsboro, the stamps were further canceled by three strikes of the well-known Winnsboro Grid used as a receiving mark as was the custom of the Winnsboro postmaster (see Page 336 of the Collector’s Guide to Confederate Philately Second Edition). Cover with a missing backflap and a well-done top center edge repair not involving the stamps or the postal markings to a very clean and exhibitable appearance.
