VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF LEE'S SIGNATURE IN COMBINATION WITH CONFEDERATE GENERAL ISSUE STAMPS.

The original enclosure, not included, was a letter of condolence for the death of Randolph Fairfax, who was killed at Fredericksburgh. According to the Monroe census, there are fifteen Robert E. Lee postally-used covers in private hands (that is, covers bearing Lee's signature, which actually entered the Confederate postal system). Of these, only four have 5c pairs (No. 6 or 7).

E. 7,500-10,000
