SC1270

Stampless cover with the Ridgeway SC (Fairfield District) and handstamp PAID 5 Type A 13 MAY (1862). Addressed to Mr. A. B. Springs, Fort Mills PO, York District (SC). Original letter included which is a short one page business letter concerning the purchase of corn at $1.00 per bushel. Very small but complete cover. This cover is the listing cover and is the illustration for this fancy PAID 5 handstamp that appears in the CSA Catalog. Very Fine. Andrew Baxter Springs (1820-1866) was a wealthy planter in the York District. His plantation was known as "Springfield," and the plantation house still stands in Fort Mill (privately owned). Edward G(endron) Palmer (1800-1867), the writer of the letter, was a planter in the Fairfield District. His plantation was known as "Valencia."
