Handstamp PAID 10 with the Princeton, Ark CDS Dietz Type IA all in GREEN 27 MAR (1862). From the Carroll Hoy & Co New Orleans Correspondence with the usual filing pinholes. This cover is slightly oversized (7 3/4 x 3 1/2 inches) and has no older provenance on the back. This may or may not be one of the three previously recorded examples of the Princeton Green PAID 10, but most likely it is not one of the original three and should be added to the census.

|
|
|
Handstamp PAID 10 with the Princeton, Ark CDS Dietz Type IA all in GREEN 25 MAR (1862). From the Carroll Hoy & Co New Orleans Correspondence with the usual filing pinholes. This cover is very likely one of the original three recorded examples of this usage since it has the “R. H. W. Co.” (Raymond H. Weill) handstamp on the back. But it is now apparent that there are more than three examples of this Green handstamp paid. The count now is at least five and perhaps six examples. Still a very scarce item. Cover is very clean and all original and quite presentable but has a large sealed tear at the bottom right. |

Soldiers Due 10c Handstamp with the small double circle Little Rock, Ark CDS Dietz Type I 23 OCT 1862. Endorsed at the top “From Lt Wright Lamar Artillery.” The unit was the 9th Texas Field Light Artillery Battery which was raised in Lamar County, Texas. Lt Sam Wright sent this cover home to his father addressed to Capt Travis G. Wright, Paris Lamar Co., Texas. Travis G. Wright was a prominent citizen and businessman of Paris, Texas as he was the brother of the founder of the town, George W. Wright. The use of “Capt” in the address was most likely a Texas State Militia rank as he was serving as a militia provost marshall and an assistant quartermaster at that time. Cover is clean but just a little reduced at the right into a small part of the address and the endorsement. This particular Little Rock “Due 10c” handstamp is a scarce mark. |
|
 |
Soldiers Due 10c Handstamp with the small double circle Little Rock, Ark CDS Dietz Type 2 MAY 1863. Endorsed at left “F. R. McMahon private Co H 13 Tex Regt Cav, Youngs Brigade, H. E.

|
 |
CSA #12 (AD) (4-Margin) tied by a somewhat weak strike of the Quincy, Flor CDS 24 AUG (1863). Cover from the Cobb Correspondence addressed to Mrs. Lamar Cobb, Athens, Georgia. Capt (later Maj) Lamar Cobb (1840-1907), an Athens lawyer, served as AAG to his father, Maj-Gen Howell Cobb. Cover is addressed to his wife and is very likely in his own hand, but I cannot guarantee that in the absence of the letter. Very slightly reduced at right not affecting anything and a minor backflap opening tear, but otherwise an overall Very Fine appearance. |
|
|
|
CSA #12 (AD) (4-Margin) tied by a weak strike of the Quincy, Flor CDS 26 AUG. Coarse paper cover addressed to Mrs. Howell Cobb, Athens, Georgia.

|
|
|
CSA #11 (AD) (4-Margin but close left and right) tied by a weak strike of the Quincy, Flor CDS 9 JUL.

|
 |
Handstamp PAID 10(ms) with the Welaka, Fla double ring CDS and manuscript date “July 14.” Period docketing at upper right dates the cover to 1862 and indicates that the letter was from “mother.” Addressed to Mr. Davis H.

Harrison (1842-1916) was commissioned Capt of Co K 2nd Fla Cav 5/16/1862 and was later promoted Major of the regiment 9/8/1862. The 2nd Fla Cav was assigned to the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida throughout the war. This actually appears to be the second use of the cover as there is evidence that a pair of stamps (most likely CSA #6) was removed from the upper right corner as there is a small remnant visible of a CDS below the outline left by the stamps. No evidence of a second address, but the stamps were removed prior to sending the cover from Welaka as the period receiving docketing at the upper right is in the area once occupied by the stamps. Scarce Welaka usage with military address and cover used twice. Very minor edge trimning at the bottom not affecting anything. Coarse brown paper cover with a Very Fine appearance. | $1,800.00 |
