Confederacy, 1861 (May 21) Charleston S.C. to The Hague, Holland, hand carried cover with datelined letter of introduction of Thomas M. Horsey to Leon Herckenrath, cover endorsed at lower left "Introduction of Mr. Ths. M. Horsey", Very Fine. Estimate $500 - 750. A RARE BLOCKADE-RUN LETTER FROM THE CONFEDERACY TO HOLLAND. This letter was probably carried through the technical but non-effective U.S. blockade in later May 1861 by Bremen bark "Gause" whose destination was Amsterdam, Holland. It is likely that the "Gause" was not stopped by any blockader either because she was not seen or because she was glying a foreign flag and the departure time was within the 15-day grace period for foreign ships to clear blockaded ports. Mr. Horsey is known to have later received a July 1861 blockade-run letter addressed to him in care of Fraser, Thenholm and Co. at Liverpool, England, probably while he was waiting for return transportation to the Confederacy. The addressee Leon Herkenrath was born in Holland in 1800, married a Charleston S.C. girl in 1823 and was a merchant in Charleston until he and his family moved back to Holland about 1836. He died a wealthy merchant on Sep. 12th 1861, shortly after Horsey's visit. (Image1)

Grimball was assigned to service abroad on Jan. 6, 1864, and this was probably sent by Grimball from England on Feb. 17, 1864. He was appointed to the famed C.S.S. "Shenandoah" on Oct. 8, 1864. The Shenandoah's exploits continued months after the end of the war, as she captured whalers for prize. Lt. Grimball was present when the first and last shots of the war were fired. (Image1)

The cover is docketed by Prize Court Commissioner Henry Flanders, a well-respected scholar on maritime law, with his "H.F." initials and with the red "17" denoting the court case number. Since both the "Meaco" and her cargo were found to be the property of Confederates, the "Meaco" was sold by the Prize Court for $6,000 and her cargo of 3,000 bags of coffee for $86,000. (Image1)

Estimate $750 - 1,000. In late 1861, a new Spanish steam ferry boat "Nuestra Senora de Regla", enroute from the builder in New York to its owner in Cuba, put into Charleston S.C. for repair of damages incurred during a hurricane. The repaired ferry boat left Charleston at the end of November 1861 with Mr. Puig aboard as a passenger. The ferry boat was stopped by U.S. blockaders near Port Royal S.C. and Mr. Puig's sack of Confederate mail was found aboard. Consequently, the "Nuestra Senora de Regla" was claimed as a prize and was sent, along with Mr. Puig, to New York to be processed by the New York prize court. This case, adjudicated in favor of the blockaders, was appealed by the Spaniards all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court that reversed the findings in favor of the Spaniards, a very rare occurrence.
