607 cover WD-CN-11 imageHeadquarters, Conscript Department, Columbia, S.C., Official Business imprint, Semi-Official Use (C.S.A. Catalog WD-CN-11), the second use of a turned cover franked with a 10¢ type I (Archer & Daly) tied by a partial blue Columbia c.d.s., to "Capt M.S. Hanckel, AVM, Allandale, Barnwell Co." The first use of the cover is most unusual. It was apparently mailed aboard the steamer "Swan" (manuscript "Str Swan") and bears blue "STEAMBOAT" (37x4 mm, Montgomery, Ala.?) and "Due 2" handstamps and a United States 3¢ 1861 tied by a Jul 17 (1861) Savannah, Ga. c.d.s.; to Savannah attorney R.E. Lester; minor edge wear and spotting, but overall F-VF.

As the war progressed, the State of South Carolina commandeered as many used envelopes as they could find, turned them and then applied their imprint.
C.S.A. Catalog $500 ++.


The likely reason for the Confederate use of the U.S. stamp is that a passenger aboard the steamer already had the stamp in his possession and the ship's captain permitted its use and the Savannah post office canceled it. Additionally, the stamp overpaid by one cent the local drop letter rate. (Image) (Image2) (Image3)

Included is a carbon copy of a letter, dated August 31, 1932, that was sent by Roosevelt - then governor of New York and Democratic candidate for President - to Dahlgren, thanking him for the cover and for "all that you and your friends are doing to aid me in the coming campaign." .
