CSA #7 Horz Pair (4-Margin but close on the right) tied by the Richmond, VA
Powell Type 6l 18 JAN (1864). Addressed to Mrs. George
Cunningham, Atlanta, Ga. At the lower left in the same hand as the
address in manuscript "Flag of Truce" (Civilian North-to-South Through-the-Lines).
This cover comes from a correspondence that is known to have originated
in Union occupied Nashville. Tenn. This would be the inner envelope
with pre-affixed CSA postage. The outer envelope would have had the
Union postage to the transfer point (most likely Fortress Monroe, Va)
where the inner envelope containing the letter was removed and the
outer envelope discarded. The cover was then taken by courier from the
transfer point to Richmond where the Richmond postmark was applied and
the cover then sent on to the final destination of Atlanta, Ga. There
is no enclosure. Very Fine Ex-Howard Green Collection. |
