Confederate Civil War Postal History
LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
379 cover   imageLouisiana Relief Committee - Smuggled Mail, small cover franked with a 10¢ type II (Keatinge & Ball) tied by an incomplete Mobile, Ala. double-circle datestamp, addressed to "Ernest Landry, Beauregard La Battery, S C Siege Train, Charleston, S.C., Care of C.D. Bardot"; at Charleston the cover was redirected with penciled notation to "Capt. Bridger, Green Pond" S.C. and a three-margin 1861 10¢ Paterson (#2, faults) was added for forwarding postage and tied by a May 27 Charleston c.d.s.; docketed "9 May No. 63" (possibly indicating the 63rd letter sent by the L.R.C.); sealed opening tear to the left of the right-hand stamp, Fine and rare.


Research into the recipient's (Landry) family correspondence has proved that this cover was smuggled out of Union-occupied New Orleans by the mails there. The Louisiana Relief Committee was surreptitiously founded jointly by citizens of New Orleans and Mobile to affect secret transmittal of mail to and from New Orleans after the city's fall on April 25, 1862.

381 cover SN-4 imageSoldier with Saber & 11-Star Flag (C.S.A. Catalog SN-4), in yellow on a gray soldier-enorsed cover with faint penciled "Due 10" and a Sep 7 Macon, Miss. c.d.s., to Euterp, Ky.; damp staining has obscured most of the soldier's endorsement, leaving only that he was a member of a Mississippi Cavalry unit. Includes the Very Fine original 2-sided cross-written letter, datelined "Camp Co. Fair Grounds, Macon Miss., Sunday Sept 6th 1863", which seems to have some interesting content, including, "I prefer the Picket Line in front of the Enemy", though it's a bit hard to read because of the cross-writing., ex-Gatsby, cover with a 2001 C.S.A. certificate.
C.S.A. Catalog $3,000. (Image) (Image2) (Image3) (Image4)
