CSA #4 Horz Pair Stone 2 Positions 39-40 (4-Margin) pen-cancelled and the manuscript postal markings to the left "Chula Depot (Va) July 3". Chula Depot was a stop on the Richmond and Danville Railroad in Amelia County. Richmond Female Institute overall illustrated College Advertising Cover in Light Pink.
The cover is from the well-known and well-documented Winston
Correspondence addressed to Mr Charles H. Winston, Richmond, Virginia.
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. Small clip to
the upper right corner of the cover and a small edge nick at bottom
right. Otherwise a very clean cover with a very nice pair of stamps.
