CSA #7 Horz Pair tied by the Murfreesboro, Ten CDS 21 OCT 1862. Addressed to Mrs. Mary Ann Pittman, China Grove, Mississippi. Very clean cover. Mary Ann Pittman (1839-1900) was the wife of Stephen Dudley Pittman (1835-1917) who was most likely the sender of this cover. Stephen D. Pittman, a farmer from Marion County, Mississippi, enlisted as a private in Co F 7th Miss Inf 8/1/1861, an Army of Mississippi unit. In March 1863, he was slightly wounded at Murfressboro, Ten. He was much more severely wounded in September 1864 by a gunshot to the leg resulting in the amputation of his right leg at the thigh. Place not stated, but the wound and the loss of the leg most likely occurred at the Siege of Atlanta. After the war, he went back to farming in Mississippi.
