Addressed to J. A. R. Hanks Esqr, Atlanta, Ga. The Hanks Correspondence
is well known. Capt J. A. R. Hanks was the Asst Quartermaster for the

What is interesting about this cover is that both types of the BLUE Tuskegee, Ala, postmarks are on one cover. Unexplained
as to how the cover was returned to Tuskegee from Saltville to be used
a second time from Tuskegee. One back flap is missing, and the cover
has been opened for display. Some very minor soiling and a
little corner wear. |
