TX224 CSA #40xu2 Houston, Tex Handstamp Provisional marking in Red Paid 10. This cover has only the control mark and does not have the Houston CDS with it. Orange paper cover addressed to Mrs Mary E. Newton, San Antonio, Tex. Manuscript “from Capt S G Newton 3 Regt Tex Vol Inf” at upper left and “per courier” manuscript at upper right. The cover apparently was carried by courier and placed in the mail at Houston but never received the Houston date stamp. On arrival in San Antonio, the Houston red mark was either not noticed or not recognized as prepayment as the cover was rated “due 10” with the San Antonio handstamp “10” and manuscript “due” applied to the cover. This cover represents a complex usage and is also one of the few remaining examples of the Houston Red Paid 10 Provisional Handstamp. CSA Certificate #2611 from 1994 signed by Warren Saunders. Very Fine. $2,000.00
