CSA #4 Stone 2 Position 46
(margins close at left and top and a light vertical pre-affixing
crease) tied by a partial strike of the Richmond, Va CDS (date not
fully apparent). Addressed to Mr. David L. Williams, Tawboro NC. The
addressee was a very wealthy Edgecombe County planter. Handwritten
patriotic verse on the face of the cover in pencil which may or may not
be period. The verse is the same as is found on a number of CSA
patriotic covers. Stand firmly by your cannon / Let ball and grapeshot fly / Trust in God and Davis / And keep your powder dry. Very clean cover. |
