VA3256

Stampless PAID cover with the Tudor Hall, Va CDS and handstamp PAID 5 Type B 25 NOV 1861. Light coarse brown paper cover with railroad address to Mr. Geo T. Whittington Care of T. M. Lake Esq, Rectortown (Station) M. G. R. R. (Manassas Gap Railroad) (Fauquier County), Va. The Manassas Gap Railroad was a 90 mile narrow gauge line from Manassas Junction to Mount Jackson and served 20 stations. The line was used by the Confederacy to move troops. Rectortown was one of the stations located 30 miles from Manassas Junction. Cover most likely sent by a Virginia soldier as most of the mail through Tudor Hall at this time was military related as the army was camped nearby. But I am unable to identify the sender. Part of top back flap missing, otherwise Very Fine.
