A RARE WESTBOUND TRANS-MISSISSIPPI EXPRESS COVER BEARING A 10¢ ENGRAVED STRIP OF FOUR.
The Walske-Trepel Special Routes book states fewer than 50 westbound Trans-Mississippi express covers are
known, making them about three-times scarcer than eastbound covers. This cover is from a new Trans-Mississippi Express find in 2002 and is the subject of a Confederate Philatelist article by Bush-Jaronski in Jul-Aug 2002 issue that details the full
research on the cover and family. Illustrated on p. 260 of "The Collector's Guide to Confederate Philately, Second Edition".

"Petersburg, Oct. 17th 1864" with excellent content "…Gen. Lee is at the helm and he looks to God to crown his efforts. As long as Moses' hands were held up Israel prevailed. We ought to pray and do all that we can to hold
up the hands and strengthen the hearts of our brave soldiers and pray to God to confound and bring to confusion the plans of our unnatural cruel enemies. Sherman, Hunter & Grant ought to be outlawed … We have heard nothing of the peace party
at the North since the fall of Atlanta. We must whip them well or the democrats contend for the spoils that the republicans have now and for the last 4 years, touch the nerve of their pockets, when they can steal nothing more from the South, and the
vibration will be felt and when the great North West finds that she is sold to New England without a price and that they can't have the free navigation of the Mississippi, they will then set up for themselves and fight like (Kilkenny
cats.) … I would rather live in a cave, weak, the life of a hermit than live with the Yankees … The pickets are at the streets taking up every servant to put on the fortifications. They took Elleck a few days ago and Jim too but Mr.
May interceded and got one off. It fell to Elleck to go. I would much rather it had been Jim for he is very lazy and self important. … They are increasing the Infantry from the Artillery, 20 out of 100 are to be sharp shooters, the Norfolk
Blues had 150 well men, only 4 guns. A great many wounded Yankees white & Black side by side in the hospital here. One of the prisoners was asked what he was fighting for, he said for the cause, another for the other part of the Union, another for
the Constitution. When asked what the constitution was, he did not know. An Indian from Iowa said he was fighting for the land they took from his great grandfather. T he Negroes say they were all drafted, made to fight. A great many have gone to them
from here. The lines are so near. Think it is impossible to prevent it, as they know all the bye paths. If you have to send any on the fortifications, send those that are of the least value. Gen. Lee is near Richmond. He has not moved his
headquarters from here. … Dr. Scott spent a week here in Sept. Called on Gen. Lee. … It reminded me of the other he told General Lee that he had a letter of introduction from Gen. Wise. … That was the remark General Lee made to
me and no doubt did to him but left here last Thursday. … The Union farmers that would not take Confederate money have suffered as much as the loyal ones. No distinction in Grant's inhuman order. … I am sorry to hear William's
health is not better. I think he is soured by the Yankee visit. He ought to see some of the refugees here that have been deprived of all, wealthy people, every thing taken, even the family Bibles & portraits are trophies of war…" and
signed "C.M." (MacHartem); some soiling and wear, Fine.

Francis S. Bartow, was Captain of the Oglethorpe
Rifles, an infantry company in Savannah. A detail from this volunteer unit captured Ft. Pulaski and the company became part of the 8th Georgia. Bartow was elected the regiment's Colonel and joined Johnston's Army of the Shenandoah. He was
