MS366 CSA #11 (AD) (4-Margin) tied by a partial strike of the Jackson, Miss CDS with a MAY date. Dark brown corase paper cover addressed to Mrs. Helen L. Oatis, Monticello, Miss. The addressee was the wife of Major Martin A. Oatis of the 22nd Miss Inf who most likely sent this cover. The cover therefore dates from MAY 1863, which is an early use for this stamp, as the 22nd Miss Inf was in the Jackson area at that time and was involved in the Vicksburg Campaign. Also, Mrs. Oatis died some time in 1864. Major Oatis, a lawyer by profession, survived the war and later relocated toTexas.  Very clean cover.ery clean cover with a minor reduction at the left not affecting anything and just a little edge wear at the lower left. $100.00
