CSA #11c Greenish-Blue (AD) (margin touches at the bottom, small short transfer at top center, minor edge gum toning at the bottom) pen-cancelled and the manuscript postal markings to the left "Mattoax (Va) March 8th". Richmond Female Institute overall illustrated College Cover in Light Gray. The cover is from the well-known and well-documented Winston Correspondence addressed to Chas H. Winston, Charleston SC. 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. Very Fine.
