(light dusting/toning) from Newport (Isle of Wight) to "Gordonsville, Orange County, Virginia, United States" with 1/- Green (small scratch) tied by a v. fine Newport "560" Numeral (matching cds on reverse) as well as by a fine red "N. YORK BR. PKT./PAID 24" transit cds (20? Apr.) with London(?) red "21/CENTS" alongside, but also with mainly very fine small boxed red London "SENT BACK TO ENGLAND/WITHOUT A REASON/FOR NON-DELIVERY" mark. There is also a very fine large double-oval Washington D.C. "DEAD LETTER OFFICE/P.O. DPt" undated mark on the reverse. This letter was posted towards the end of the brief period (25 May 1861 to 2 May 1862) that mails for the southern states were forwarded at the risk of the sender. Very rare thus; most examples of the returned Civil War covers are dated in early 1861, before the British P.O. advised people of the problems and risks involved in sending letters to the southern states.
