TN226 CSA #56x2 Memphis, Ten 5c Red Provisional (margin just barely touches at the top and a little minor edge toning at top right) tied by the Memphis, Ten CDS 11 SEP (1861). Addressed to Mrs. Mary Williamson Care of Lewis P. Williamson, Summerville, Tenn. The original letter remains with the cover datelined Memphis Sept 11th (1861) and written on a Patriotic Lettersheet showing the 11-Star Stars and Bars Flag in full color Dietz Type F11-7. This is a very scarce CSA patriotic design with only two recorded postally used covers showing this flag design and very few known lettersheets. The writer of the letter is asking her cousin for some financial support for her and her daughter as her husband is apparently now in service (in the army) and her money is giving out. Cover with a little light foxing but still has an overall Very Fine appearance, and the lettersheet is very clean with file folds reinforced from the inside with nearly invisible archival quality document tape. Ex-Boshwit. $3,000.00
