postmark addressed to Mr. A. A. Hawn, Camp Holmes near Raleigh in care
of Lieut McRae. Camp Holmes was a major Camp of Instruction for new
recruits. This is a cover FRONT
only which has been repaired and rebacked to a very clean appearance
for exhibit purposes. The Hickory Tavern postmark is quite a scarce
item with very few examples known.
