LB9

Stampless PAID cover with the Sumter SC CDS and handstamp PAID 10 Type D 29 JUL 1864 (could be a provisional but impossible to tell so simply presented as a standard PAID 10). Light corase brown paper cover addressed to Mr. Thomas Egleston, Gadsden Station, So. Ca. Gadsden, a station on the South Carolina Railroad southeast of Columbia, was an obscure post office in the Richland District. On arrival in Gadsden, the cover was forwarded to Charleston with Gadsden lined through and affixing a pair of CSA #6 stamps (pre-affixing clip to the right upper corner of the right stamp) to pay the forwarding fee. The stamps are affixed at the lower left corner and pen-canceled. Manuscript "Gadsden Jul 31" postal marking at the top center. The cover most likely went by train from Gadsden to Charleston. Very clean cover and an excellent example of a forwarded use. Ex-Baum Collection.
