Cover is otherwise very clean and a very nice example of the frame line stamp on cover. CSA Certificate 1995. | |

Parsons (1817-1895) was not an army colonel but was instead a prominent Alabama attorney and politician. The title of “Col” was honorary. In June 1865 after the close of the war, President Andrew Johnson appointed him the provisional governor of Alabama, an office he held as Alabama’s 19th governor until a newly elected governor assumed the office in December 1865. One of the things he tried to do during his short term as governor was attempt to buy the panhandle from Florida for Alabama but was not successful.

-- ARKANSAS -- |
| Handstamp PAID 10 with the Buck Horn, Ark CDS Dietz Type IB 23 FEB 1862. Folded Letter Complete written on a Ledger Sheet addressd to H. A. Montgomery Esqr, Memphis, Tennessee. Business letter concerning an order for telegraph poles. The second of what are believed to be only two recorded CSA covers (same correspondence) from this Arkansas town. The other cover in the correspondence shows the “Paid 5” rate. This cover went at the double rate because it contained an extra copy of the agreement which is referred to in the letter but is no longer with the cover accounting for the added weight. This letter is about the original order for telegraph poles, and the followup letter in the “Paid 5” cover from the same correspondence details their loss due to rough water in the White River two months later. Ex-Boshwit. | |
|
| Soldiers Due 10 with the Camden, Ark CDS Dietz Type I 30 AUG (1864 by docketing). Orange paper cover addressed to Mrs. M. A. Crocheron, Bastrop, Texas. Endorsed at left “William ----- (the last name removed by a small edge reduction) Company D Terrys Texas Rangers.” Henry Crocheron was a prominent businessman in Bastrop, Texas, and his wife was Mary. He had a nephew and two nieces living with them in Bastrop in the census of 1860. The nephew was William Nicholson who enlisted at age 20 in Company D Terry’s Texas Rangers 9/7/1861. This cover is undoubtedly from William Nicholson to his aunt. William Nicholson was wounded slightly at Mossy Creek, Ten 12/29/1863 and killed in action near Rome, Ga 10/13/1864 less than two months after sending this letter home. Except for the small reduction at the upper left into the endorsement and a minor corner fault at the lower right, the cover still has an overall Very Fine appearace with a very scarce Soldier’s Due mark. | |
|
| Handstamp PAID 5 CENTS with the Lake Village, Ark CDS Dietz Type I 8 AUG (1861) (bold clear strikes of all the postal markings). Orange paper cover addressed to New Orleans but the name of the addressee has been covered over. Corner repair at bottom right but still a very presentable cover with a quite scarce Arkansas town. | |
|
| Handstamp PAID 10(ms) with the Lewisville, Ark balloon CDS 21 AUG. Coarse brown paper homemade adversity cover addressed to Mr. Samuel Wolfenbarger, Jacksonville Cherokee Co., Texas. There is a letter present with the cover which is a short letter from Samuel Wolfenbarger to his wife and children saying that he will be home in a week or ten days and that he has bought a pony. He further states that he sent the mare home by Herby and wants Herby to return with his rope. “Herby” in the letter may refer to a Negro slave. The letter is written on the same coarse paper as the cover but is not datelined. The letter is probably not original to this cover but part of the same family’s correspondence since the letter was written by the addressee of this cover. This cover was most likely sent by Charles Wolfenbarger, a private in Co B 17th Tex Inf, to his father as this regiment was in Arkansas at various times 1862-1864. Very Fine. | |
|
| Handstamp PAID 10 with the Little Rock, Ark small double cirle CDS Dietz Type IV 23 AUG. Coarse brown paper homemade adversity cover addressed to Mrs. M. A. Smead Care of M. J. Smead Esqr, Treasury Department, Richmond, Virginia. Very minor corner repairs bottom left and right, otherwise Very Fine. | |
|
| “Paid 10” manuscript with the small double circle Little Rock, Ark CDS (date not fully apparent). Adversity Cover made from a printed but unused postal form from the Brownsville, Ark post office. Soldier’s endorsement at the left “R. D. Modrall Co K Youngs Regt Tex Vol Inft.” The regiment would be the 12th Tex Inf commanded by Col Overton Young. Cover addressed to Mr. Polk Pierson, New Salem Rusk County, Texas. Original town address lined through and cover forwarded to Plenitude, Texas with the addition of “New Salem Tx April 27th 63” in manuscript. “Paid 10” manuscript is the only rate mark on the cover. Unclear if this was from Little Rock or New Salem. Most likely the cover was sent as a “Due” from Little Rock and the postage paid upon forwarding with no additional assessment for the forwarding as a courtesy since the cover originated from a soldier on active duty. Very Fine. | |
|
| Soldiers (Due) 10 with the small double circle Little Rock, Ark CDS Dietz Type B 27 JAN. Adversity Cover made from a printed ledger sheet and addressed to Mrs. M. A. Neblett, Navasoto Depot Grimes Co., Texas. Endorsed at left “From R. Neblett a member of Company D Youngs Regiment.” Very Fine. | |
|
| Soldiers “Due 10” (ms) with the Camden, Ark CDS 15 JAN (1863). Orange paper cover addressed to Mr. Thomas M. Ewing, Arkadelphia, Ark. Endorsed at top left “T. F. Spencer C. S. A. (Confederate States Army)” Thomas F. Spencer was Capt of Co E 2nd Ark Cav Mounted Rifles. Capt Spencer was Killed-in-Action at Murphreesboro, Ten 31 DEC 1862. Because of the usage inside Arkansas and the 10c rate, the assumption is that the year of usage is 1863 and not 1862. If 1862, the rate would have been 5c as this small cover is unlikely to have been overweight. Therefore, the cover appears to have been handcarried from Tennessee, perhaps by military or private courier, back to Arkansas and then posted in Camden about two weeks after Capt Spencer was killed. Some Arkansas units with the Army of Tennessee did use private mail runners to carry soldiers letters back and forth to Arkansas. The cover then very likely carried Capt Spencer’s last letter home to a friend or relative. Minor reduction at the right to the edge of the address and a small piece of the right back sideflap missing, but otherwise a Very Fine appearance. | |
|
| Handstamp PAID 5(ms) with the Fort Smith, Ark small double circle CDS 19 SEP 1861 (year date is in the CDS) Dietz Type I 5(ms). Folded Letter Complete (business letter concerning swamp land “...Are war bonds taken for swamp as well as other lands?”) addressed to State Land Agent, Clarksville, Ark. The letter is written on lined notebook paper, and everything is complete. But the notbook page has been affixed to a heavy backing paper for preservation and refolded to a Very Fine appearance showing a scarce usage. | |
|
| Handstamp PAID 5 with the Helena, Ark small double circle CDS with an AUG 1861 date Dietz Type I. Folded Letter Complete (few small pieces missing from the one one page letter) which is a husband to wife family letter addressed to Mrs. Jane C. Anderson, Senatoba, Mississippi. Cover shows aging, and folds are reinfoced on the inside with archival tape. But the cover still has a very presentable appearance and a somewhat scarce Arkansas usage. Ex-Lemley, Ex-Kohn. | |
|
| CSA #2 Paterson Stone Y (4-Margin) tied by a Target Cancel with the small double circle Little Rock, Ark CDS 20 FEB 1863. Military Endorsement at the left “F. R. McMahon Private, Co H 13th Tex Cav, Col Young’s Brigade, Gen Walker’s Division.” Addressed to Mrs. M. C. McMahon, Burkville PO Newton County, Texas. Both the address and the endorsement are in light faded pencil but are still legible. Wallpaper Adversity Cover with a geometric type leaf pattern in various shades of gray and white. Displayed with the lower left corner flapped up. Backflap opeining tears, otherwise Very Fine. Ex-Boshwit. | |
|
| Handstamp PAID 5 with the small double circle Napolean, Ark CDS Dietz Type IA 6 APR 1862. From the Carroll Hoy & Co New Orleans Correspondence with the usual filing pinholes. Minor backflap opening tear otherwise Very Fine. | |
|
| Handstamp PAID 10 with the Princeton, Ark CDS Dietz Type IA all in GREEN 8 MAR (1862). One of only three recorded examples of the Princeton Green Paid 10. From the Carroll Hoy & Co New Orleans Correspondence with the usual filing pinholes. Very Fine Ex-Kohn, Ex-Myerson, Ex-Boshwit. | |
|
| 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. But I do not know that with certainty. Minor vertical file fold but otherwise Very Fine. Ex-Boshwit. | |
|
| Handstamp PAID 5 with the Little Rock, Ark small double circle CDS Dietz Type 1 (scarce typset “Paid 5” handstamp) 21 SEP 1861. Orange paper cover with minor reductions right and left and addressed to W. M. Steel Esq, Jacksonport, Ark. Overall very clean appearance. | |

 | “Due 10” manuscript with the small double circle Hamburg, Ark CDS 9 AUG (changed to “15” AUG by manuscript). Orange paper cover addressed to Mrs. Mattie Slemons, Monticello Drew Co., Ark. No soldier’s endorsement but the cover was sent by Col W. F. Slemons of the 2nd Ark Cav to his wife. Well sealed tear at top center not affecting anything, otherwise a Very Fine appearance and a scarce usage. | |
 | Handstamp PAID 10 with the small double circle Little Rock, Ark CDS Dietz Type IV 16 MAR (1863). Folded Letter complete addressed to Mrs. Lucie S. Moses Care of Mr. D. H. Williamson, Russellville Pope Cty, Ark. The letter is a good soldier’s camp letter written by Private Peter A. Moses of Co D 34th Ark Inf to his wife. The letter is quite lengthy and mentions General Hindman, Jayhawkers, and more. Very Fine. | |

|
| CSA #1 Stone 1 (4-Margin) tied by the Warrington, Fla CDS 7 JAN (1862). Light orange paper cover addressed to Mrs. E. T. Hoopes, Port Gibson Claiborne Co., Miss. Manuscript “Miss Troops” at the left in the same hand as the address. This cover is from a known correspondence from Private E. B. Hoopes Co C 10th Miss Inf. Very slightly reduced at the top, and a minor cover repair underneath the stamp Very Fine appearance and a very nice stamp. | |
|
| Handstamp PAID 5 with an unusually strong and bold strike of the Warrington, Fla CDS Dietz Type IA 20 SEP (1861). Addressed to Miss Mary Brown, Campbellton, Fla. There is a period manuscript marking in the same ink as the address at the lower left of unknown significance since I am unable to decipher the handwriting and spelling. Small cover reduction at the right not affecting anything, small surface scuff to the cover at the lower right, and a minor corner stain at the lower left. Otherwise a very clean cover. | |
|

|
| 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. The address is most definitely in the hand of Maj-Gen Howell Cobb writing home to his wife and threrefore contains his indirect signature. Gen Cobb’s signature is well known.

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

Very minor backflap opening tear. Very clean cover. | |
|
| Handstamp PAID 10 with the usual weak strike of the Tallahassee, Fla CDS Dietz Type II 14 DEC (1864). Addressed to Mrs. O. L. Stephens, Thomasville, Geo. The adressee (Octavia L. Stephens) was the wife of Capt Winston J. T. Stephens of the 2nd Fla Cav. Capt Stephens was killed at Cedar Creek (Jacksonville, Fla) 3/1/1864. Backflap tears and stains on the back only. From the front, the cover has a Very Fine appearance. | |
|

|
| Handstamp PAID 10 with the Monticello, Fla CDS Dietz Type III 28 JAN (1863). Addressed to Wm H. Walker Esqr, Buck Eye, Geo. Original short business letter written on part of a lined ledger sheet remains with the cover. Interesting letter as the sender states he has received the right half of a $100 bill and would like the left half remitted as soon as possible. Backflap opening tears and minor period edge stains upper right and left corners. But still a very clean and attractive cover. | |
|
| CSA #7 Horz Pair (4-Margin) Pen-Cancel). At left is manuscript “Baldwin Mch 26/63.” Military Address to Davis H. Bryant Esqr Cap Clarks Rangers Care of Telegraph Operator, Baldwin, Fla. There is also a mauscript “Paid 10cts” at top center in the same hand as the address. This looks to be an Overpaid Drop Letter with forwarding as the “Baldwin” in the address as well as the “Baldwin” manuscipt postal marking are both lined through and cover forwarded to Harts Road, Fla. The pen-cancel on the stamps is in the same heavy black ink used to add the forwarded destination, so it appears that the stamps were added to pay the forwarding fee. Davis Hall Bryant (1839-1914) enlisted 5/16/1862 as a Private in Co K 2nd FL Cav. He is listed as taking the Oath of Allegiance 5/20/1865 at Waldo, Fla. Frank J. Clark enlisted 5/16/1862 as a 1st Lieut and was promoted Capt of Co K 2nd Fla Cav 9/8/1862. He resigned 7/9/1863 due to ill health.
