Manuscript
Soldiers “Due 10”
with no other postal markings. Addressed to Mrs. J. M.
Osterhout, Bellville, Tex. Endorsed at upper left “From J. P. Osterhout Adjt 4th
Tex S(tate) T(roops).” The 4th Tex Inf State
Troops was a home guard unit organized in 1863
for six months service. Other endorsed covers in the
Osterhout
correspondence places the unit in the Houston area which is most likely
where this cover originated. A non contemporary notation most
likely
referring to the original letter which is no longer with the cover
dates
the cover to DEC 1863. Very clean cover. |
