VA3230

CSA #11c (AD) Greenish-Blue (4-Margin) tied by the Richmond, Va 9 APR (1864). Official Post Office Department Imprinted Cover Chief of the Appointment Bureau (unsigned). Stamp placed over the imprint indicating private use. Addressed to Col W. D. Coleman, Postmaster, Danville, Va Pittsylvania Co. The addressee was the Confederate postmaster of Danville (1861-1865) and the "Col" title was apparently a Virginia militia commission. He was also the editor and publisher of the local newspaper. The original letter is included which is from a friend and could benefit from a transcription as much of the letter deals with tobacco. Very clean appearing cover but with some edge tear repair work at the top center involving part of the imprint, and part of top back flap missing. Ex-Wiseman.
