Stampless Soldiers Due cover with handstamp DUE 10 without a postmark, Addressed to Mrs. Pamela Ann Holebrook, Woodville Post Office, Tyler County, Texas. Endorsed "From Samuel H. Holebrook in Co B 17 Consolidated Reg Dismounted Cavalry, Texas." Minor edge wear, otherwise Very Fine Ex Myerson. The 17th Tex Cav has a complicated history. The regiment was dismounted in April 1862, and most of the regiment was captured at Arkansas Post 1/11/1863. After exchange, the regiment ended up consolidated with a number of other units through to the end of the war. The regiment remained in the Trans-Mississippi, and later with the Army of Tennessee. The "DUE 10" handstamp is not a listed Army of Tennessee soldiers due field mark. The cover is undated, and the "DUE 10" mark, which is not particularly distinctive, could have come from almost anywhere in the Trans-Mississippi where the regiment happened to be. No information on the soldier who sent the cover. Certainly bears further research.
