First use was possibly as a Blockade cover carried aboard the blockade runner Druid, entering the C.S.A. mails at Charleston, S.C., where a 10¢ blue type II was canceled by a partial Charleston c.d.s., Jul 1 (1864), to Mr. John Gadsden, Summerville, S.C., Very Fine. (Image)

Cat No: Point of Rocks

image 18th Army Corps Hospital - Point of Rocks (Near Petersburg, Va.), Cover and two letters from Lt. William T. Norris, 5th S.C. Infantry, to his father in Pacolet Depot, S.C. The cover has a U.S. Christian Commission corner card and the first letter, dated Oct 11, 1864, has a matching letterhead; the overweight cover held both letters, the U.S. postage paid by a cork-canceled 12¢ black; a poorly struck Richmond, Va. c.d.s. ties a C.S.A. 10¢ blue type I for Confederate postage.

In the first letter, Norris tells his father that he has "to write this lying down" due to the fact that he had had his left leg amputated below the knee a week earlier, but is currently "doing fine." The second letter, dated Nov 15, is a long, thoughtfully written letter of condolence from Christian Commission agent, L.H. Pease, telling of Norris' death due to wound complications and "typho-malarial fever which attacked him soon after he was wounded". Very Fine. Rare use of Christian Commission stationery and the only recorded use of the 12¢ black on P.O.W. mail. With 2022 P.F. certificate as genuine use of the CSA 10¢ but declining opinion whether the US 12¢ stamp originated on this cover. (Image)
