Col Bradley Johnson 1st Maryland Regiment 3 Brigade under Gen Elzey Centreville, Va. Bradley Tyler Johnson (1829-1903) was later promoted Brig-Gen 28 JUN 1864. It was Gen Johnson who executed the orders to burn Chambersburg, Pa in 1864. Any item referencing a Maryland Confederate Regiment is scarce. But there are several other Raleigh Provisional covers addressed to Lt Col Johnson from the same correspondence. Very Fine signed “Dietz” at the lower left corner and with PF Certificate 2002.
