CSA #2 Paterson Stone Y (4-Margin) tied by the large Elkin NC CDS with negative letters 7 JAN (1863). Only three towns are recorded as having used such a postmark with negative letters -- the other two are Big Shanty, Ga  and Union City, Ten. Addressed to Mrs. Sallie L. Lenoir, Fort Defiance NC. The stamp with the postmark was cropped from this cover and used as an illustration on Page 350 of the Collector’s Guide to Confederate Philately Second Edition. Very Fine. Ex-Myerson.
