South-to-North POW Cover from the Richland Jail in Columbia SC to Bedford, Pennsylvania with CSA #11 (AD) and USA #65 to pay both the CSA and Union postage. The USA stamp has a cork cancel and the Old Point Comfort, Va Union postmark 25 AUG cancels the CSA stamp. There are no CSA postal markings on the cover. “Prisoner of War Letter via Richmond,Va” at upper left. “Exd R. D. Senn Capt Post Gd” at lower left which identifies the Richland Jail in Columbia SC as the origin of the cover as Capt (later Major) Senn was in command at that location. Addressed to Miss H. A. Barclay, Bedford, Bedford Co., Pennsylvania. The sender of the cover is not identified. Very Fine.
