VERY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING WAR DEPARTMENT COVER, SENT BY COMMANDING GENERAL WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN TO AN ITALIAN ARISTOCRAT IN ROME, COMBINING THE 3-CENT WAR DEPARTMENT ENTIRE AND 6-CENT LINCOLN ISSUE OF 1870.

William T. Sherman, whose "March to the Sea" made him a Civil War hero in the North (and equally despised in the South), was appointed Commanding General of the U.S. Army after the war (1869-83). In November 1871 he embarked on a tour of Europe for the first time, returning to Washington D.C. in September 1872. In 1873 his daughter, Minnie, also travelled to Europe. In September 1874, at Sherman's request, the Headquarters of the U.S. Army was moved from Washington D.C. to St. Louis. The cover offered here dates from January 1874, after the Official stamps and envelopes were released (July 1873) and before Sherman moved to St. Louis (September 1874). The 15c postage on this cover overpaid the current rates to Rome and presumably was intended to pay the old 15c Closed Mail rate. (Image)
