SC1166

Stampless Due 5 cover with the "Hardeeville (SC) Jany 17 (1862) Due 5" manuscript postal markings. Early CSA Hardeeville covers are in manuscript. The Hardeeville postmark did not come into use until later in 1862. Addressed to Mrs. Daniel Crawford, Columbia, So. Ca. Endorsed at left "Dan'l Crawford QM (Quartermaster) 15th Regiment SCV." This is a heavy linen lined envelope which was used at the time for security mainly to send cash through the mail. Most likely the soldier was sending some money home to his wife. Small amount of edge staining at the top right and a little top edge wear. Very clean cover and an excellent example of a "Money Letter" envelope.

$250.00
