CSA #7 Vert Pair affixed sideways (4-Margin but close at the right). The stamps show the filled-in frame variety at the right (Type CC 7-R-v2). The stamps are pen-cancelled. The manuscript "Mattoax (Va) Aug 15" postal marking at the left barely ties the stamps.

The Winston Correspondence is the source of these college covers as he was the president of the college. The school was closed at the beginning of the war and the buildings used as General Hospital #4 for Confederate officers. The Winstons continued to use these covers for their personal correspondence. Charles Winston, a chemist, used his skills to help provide munitions for the CSA government. Clean cover.
