CSA
#7 Horz Pair (4-Margin affixed upside down) tied
by a partial strike of the Larissa, Tex
CDS 8 FEB (1865). Folded Letter
complete written on lined notebook paper and confirms the 1865 Larissa
usage. Addressed to Genl Hayden H. Edwards, Nacogdoches, Tex. Hayden
H. Edwards was a very prominent Nacogdoches citizen and businessman at
the time. He was active in the Texas Independence from Mexico movement
in the 1830’s. The title of “General” was honorary and not related to
the
Confederate Army. The letter itself is entirely business and concerns a
land
deal. Excellent CSA Texas 1865 usage and a very late Texas usage for
these
stamps from an obscure town in Cherokee County. Very Fine.
