GA1199

CSA #12 (AD) (margin a little irregular at the right) tied by the VIOLET Augusta, Ga CDS (date not fully apparent but receiving docketing at left dates the cover to 26 MAR 1865). The Augusta violet postmark was in use late December 1864 and through into 1865. Very late use. Sherman bypassed Augusta on his March to the Sea, and Augusta continued Confederate mail service into April 1865. Yellow paper cover addressed to J. Monroe Ogden Esq, Macon, Georgia. Sealed back flap opening tear, sealed edge tear top left center, and small edge tears top right. Still a very clean appearing cover with a late postal use and a not commonly seen violet postmark.

$300.00
