CSA #12 (AD) Horz Strip of 3 (margins close left, right, and bottom) tied by two strikes of the Rapid Ann Station, Va
CDS 8 JUN. Orange paper cover with a somewhat faded but still legible
address to Miss Cora De M. Pritchartt, Richmond, Va. Cora Demovelle
Pritchert’s (1840-1927) boyfriend was Lt James Harrison Williams (1836-1903) of Ashby’s Va Horse Light Artillery.
Lt Williams very likely is the one who sent the cover as their
correspondence begins in 1862. They married in 1871. Lt Williams was
a graduate of the University of Va law School and in 1864 was detailed
to serve as the Judge Advocate General of the ANV Cavalry Corps. Cover
has been professionally restored along the left side and at the right
lower corner with the original top backflap also restored and
reattached. The restoration gives the cover an overall Very Fine
appearance and ready to exhibit. Scarce triple rate usage on a standard
sized envelope.
