CSA #12 (AD) (4-Margin) tied by the Richmond, Va CDS Powell Type 5a 20 JUN 1863. Blue paper Semi-Official imprinted cover "Confederate States of America WAR DEPARTMENT Engineer Bureau, Official Business" (WD-EN-03). Addressed to Mr. James Fitz, Keswick Depot, Albemarle Co., Va. Keswick Depot was a station on the Virginia Central Railroad. Very Fine. Ex-Kaufmann. James Fitz (b1806) was a prominent Albermarle County, Virginia planter. He had a son also named James Fitz (1839-1904) who served in the 2nd Va Cav, but has no military record after 1862. Not sure if the cover is addressed to either the father or the son as neither appear to have had any connection to the War Department Engineer Bureau.
