CSA #12c (AD) (4-Margin Greenish-Blue) tied by a full
and bold strike of the Snapping Shoals, Geo CDS 29 SEPT (1863) (very
scarce Georgia postmark from Newton County). Military Address to Mr.
T. H. Stallsworth, floyds Betalion (sic), Atlanta, Ga. On arrival in
Atlanta, cover forwarded to Rome, Ga with the addition of the Atlanta Arc
Due 10 handstamp Dietz Type I. Often covers forwarded to a soldier were
not assessed the forwarding fee, but that does not seem to be the case here.
Floyd’s Battalion refers to the 10th Ga Cavalry State Guard, strictly a local
unit commanded by Colonel John J. Floyd. Thomas H. Stallsworth was a
Sergeant in Company F. Very coarse paper cover which appears to be
homemade. The backflap is missing, and there are small edge tears. Four
corner mounting stains are present, a gift from a prior collector who
apparently incorrectly mounted the cover with scotch tape at the corners. But
nevertheless the cover is still very presentable with a nice stamp and a very
scarce postmark and showing forwarded usage as well.
