CSA #11(AD) (4-Margin and on the back used to seal the backflap, but the cover was slit open on the side, and the stamp shows no damage) tied to the reverse of the cover by the Richmond, Va CDS Powell Type 5a 11 JUN 1863. Patriotic Cover with large Flag Over Cannon design (12 Star Flag) Type CN-1C all in Black with Verse 13 (“Gather around your country’s flag,...”).
