Fort Garland, Colo., Mar 7, third type cds on small 1874 cover addressed to Lieut. Col. James Bassil, Egyptian Army, Grand Cairo, Egypt, franked with 1873, 3¢ green + 7¢ orange vermilion, horizontal pair canceled by light quartered cork handstamps, red New York exchange cds and various crayon accountancy markings, reverse with Bridinsi transit and Cairo receiving postmark, with original 4-page enclosure with interesting content regarding events at the fort and Indian problems in area…It is just possible that the hostile attitude of Mr Lo. in various parts of the county may stay the already whetted axe and uplifted hand already to send the fatal blow. One officer & some men so far - Lt. Robinson - have been killed by the Sioux. I believe, the Hualapi Apachi in Arizona appear to be on the eve of an attack; repaired cover nick at lower left edge and backflap refolded to show stamps, F.-V.F. appearance, a wonder usage to Egypt from Fort Garland. Estimate  $500 - 750. $0 (Image)
