Confederate Congressmen were granted a limited franking privilege by the Confederate Post Office Department but it did not give them the privilege of free postage enjoyed by their Federal counterparts. They were allowed to mail letters postage due as long as they franked them. However, it was the norm for Confederate Congressmen to frank their mail but not take advantage of the postage due privilege. This cover is a scarce example of a Congressman mailing a franked letter postage due. US$300-400 (Image)
