At least 12 covers bearing the 1869 24c stamp are known to have originated from this correspondence. The rate to South America via American Packet was reduced from 34c to 22c in March of 1870; therefore a 24c stamp would only be required on double-weight mail under the new rate. (Image)

35X1, Greenwood Depot, VA, 10c Black on Gray blue, cut hexagonally, tied by indistinct "Greenwood Depot" datestamp to neat homemade green envelope (made from sheet music) to "Rev. Paul Whitehead, Macfarland's P.O., Lunenburg Co, Va." as always, additional "Via Lynchburg", pencil docketing confirms 1862 year, Very Fine, of the six known Greenwood Depot provisional covers only two have the stamps tied, the other of which is in the British Library's Tapling Collection and is just barely tied, therefore we consider this to be the finest Greenwood Depot cover in existence (Scott $22,500 for untied on cover)rnRichard L. Calhoun in his 2012 work Confederate Postmaster Provisionals of Virginia notes the existence of a total of six covers with this stamp and of that number, although only five are available to collectors as one is part of the Tapling Collection in the British Museum. The October 1887 issue of the American Philatelist reported that "Gilbert M. Bastable, of Catlett, Va.,...writes that he found five of these local stamps—all that are known to exist—in the correspondence of the Rev. Paul Whitehead, who sent him several thousand envelopes to examine."rnProvenance: Alfred H. Caspary (H.R. Harmer Sale 989, 1956)rnJosiah K. Lilly (R.A. Siegel Sale 317, 1967) (Image)
