Stampless PAID cover "Kingstree SC July 24 (1862) Paid 10" all in manuscript. Obscure postal use from the Williamsburgh District. Adversity cover made from blue-lined notebook paper. Addressed to W. F. B. Haynsworth Esqr, Court in Equity, Sumter SC. William Francis Baker Haynsworth (1824-1905) was a prominent lawyer in Sumter. Included with the cover is a fragment of the original letter written on the same notebook paper from which the cover was made and in the same handwriting as the address. The letter appears to be about funds associated with a court case. Interesting that the dateline of the letter is mis-written as Kingston instead of Kingstree. Minor edge wear at the lower right corner. Still an exceptionally clean cover. Ex-Baum Collection.
