Turned Cover -- 1st Use CSA #12 (AD) with a beautiful color with an opaline sheen (4-Margin) tied by a much better than average strike of the BLUE Petersburg, Va CDS
5 JUN (1863). Addressed to Colo C. R. Baird, San Marino, Dinwiddie
Cty., Va. No Col C. R. Baird associated with the Confederate Army, so
the title is most likely honorary. 2nd Use (outside) stampless with the manuscript postal marking "San Marino (Va) June 6/63" and manuscript "Paid 10c." Addressed
to Mr. Alexander Donnan, Petersburg, Va. Alexander Donnan was a lawyer
in Petersburg. San Marino is listed as a CSA post office in Dinwiddie
County, but no trace of it remains today. Coarse brown paper homemade
cover with one back flap missing. Very clean cover. Ex-Randy Neil
