Letter sent from Albin Rochereau, a merchant and battalion chief in the French Legion, a group of French citizens who were defending the city during the Civil War.

As this cover was taken to New York in another envelope it lacks the typical express markings. Adams Express Company mail was typically put into the US mail system at Louisville, there are examples of mail carried by Adams going to New York. (Image1)
