FINE. A RARE CIVIL WAR EXPRESS USAGE WITH A CONFEDERATE POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL ADHESIVE.

There is no indication of this cover's origin, but it is probably an intra-Confederacy express usage from Adams Southern Express office in Memphis. It could also be a late thru-the-lines express usage via Memphis. Thru-the-lines express mail was banned on August 26, 1861, by order of the U.S. Postmaster General, Montgomery Blair. The August 27 date in Memphis allows for a possible express usage a few days earlier. A related cover to the same addressee at Champagnolle was offered in Siegel Sale 823, lot 409. It is an Adams Southern Express Co. imprint cover with a letter to the same Hattie Billings from the express agent at Memphis, dated Sep. 15, 1861, which states that "communication with the North ceased entirely about one month since..."
