TN355

Handstamp PAID 10 with the Nashville, Ten CDS Type F all in BLUE 31 OCT 1861. Addressed to Asa Holland, Halesford, Franklin Co., Va. The addressee was the Halesford postmaster. Interesting cover in that there is an inside postal use manuscript “Wilsonville, Ala Pd 5 Oct 26 (1861)” addressed to Mess Graves Marks & Co., Nashville, Tenn. The cover is made from blue-lined notebook paper and appears to be a turned use. More likely the first use was a full folded letter. The letter part was separated, and what was left was used to make a cover for the second use. Very unusual to find such an adversity cover this early in the Confederate period. Very Fine.
