CSA #1c Olive Green Horz Pair Stone A/B (not plated but does not plate to Stone 1 with just a little gum toning) lightly pen-cancelled and tied by the Tudor Hall, Va CDS 2 NOV 1861 (very early use). Addressed to Miss Clerind Butler, Stone Mountain, Ga. Soldier's endorsement at left which goes under the stamps and is crossed out "Private T. C. Butler, Comp E 7th Regt (Ga Inf)." It appears as though Pvt Butler started to prepare the letter as a soldier's due and then acquired the stamps and had no need to send the letter as a "Due" and crossed out his endorsement. Very clean cover. Ex-Kaufmann. Thomas Curry Butler enlisted as a private in Co E 7th Ga Inf 5/29/1861. He is listed as having "Died of Disease" 6/4/1862 and is buried in the Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond.
