MSC215 Military "O.B." (Official Business) cover likely carried by a military courier as ther are no postal markings. Orange paper cover addressed to Officer Comdg 54 Va Regt ATenn (Army of Tennessee), Lieut Gen Lee Comdg Corps. Very Fine.

Lieut Gen Lee refers to Stephen Dill Lee (not related to Robert E. Lee) (1833-1908), an 1854 West Point graduate, who was the youngest Lieut Gen in the Confederate Army and commanded the infantry corps Army of Tennessee from mid 1864 to the surrender. That would date this cover in late 1864 or early 1865 when the 54th Va Inf was assigned to Gen Lee's corps. The Colonel commanding the 54th Va Inf was Robert Craig Trigg (1830-1872), a VMI graduate and lawyer by profession. Col Trigg commanded the regiment from September 1861 through to the end of the war.		 $125.00
