CSA #4 on the back sealing the backflap (severely damaged in opening) tied
by a CDS that is not legible but most likely the same one that is on the front
of the cover Greenwood Depot, Va balloon 10 JUN (1862). Addressed to
Mrs. S. J. Robertson, Mossingford PO Charlotte Co., Va Care of Mr. B. G.
Dickerson. There is also a manuscript “Due 5” on the cover. The cover is
quite small and most likely was not overweight and the distance is less than
500 miles. Therefore, it appears as though when the cover arrived at its
destination, the stamp on the back was not noticed and the cover therefore
assessed 5c postage due. Stars and Bars Flag (11 Stars) Patriotic Cover
Dietz Type F11-16 in black with Verse 2 “On, on to the rescue...” On
the back is a period manuscript routing instruction “Direct to Greenwood
Tunnel Va C R R (Virginia Central Railroad) in care of Surg J. G.
Boatwright.” Except for damaged stamp on the back, still a Very Fine
cover with excellent usage. CSA Certificate 1983.
