TX346

CSA #2 H&L (4-Margin but with pre-affixing faults) tied by the small single rim Sabine Pass, Tex CDS 2 MAY (1862). Addressed to Mrs. Celina Duncan, Liberty, Texas. Sabine Pass was an important military site on the Texas coast near Port Arthur and the site of two battles (1862 and 1863) when the Union forces attempted to invade Texas but were beaten back. Cover most likely from a soldier in the area to his wife at home. The cover is complete but shows light foxing, edge and corner wear, and a sealed edge tear at the lower right. Still a presentable cover with a scarce Texas postmark.

$400.00
