VA3318

CSA #4 Stone 2 Postion 17 (4-Margin) pen-cancelled "X" and the manuscript postal markings to the left "Mattoax, Va June 20th". Mattoax was a stop on the Richmond and Danville Railroad in Amelia County. Richmond Female Institute overall illustrated College Advertising Cover in Light Grey. 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. Very minor edge fault at upper right. Some cover staining on the back only. It appears that the back of the cover was used to write a period shopping list in light pencil, otherwise a clean appearing cover with a very nice stamp.
