FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE CONJUNCTIVE USE OF A CONFEDERATE POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL AND THE FIRST GENERAL ISSUE.
We record a total of only eight full covers with combinations of Confederate provisionals (either adhesive or handstamped) and General Issue stamps to prepay postage. Of those, only two are known with the Petersburg stamp. The census of Petersburg covers and pieces published in the Calhoun book lists only this piece used with a general issue stamp in addition to the two covers. This is an attractive and affordable way to show the conjunctive use.

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL LARGE MARGINED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT TELLICO PLAINS POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL.
The Rheatown and Tellico Plains provisionals were printed by the same printer, using a typeset form of three subjects. For the Tellico Plains provisional, which probably followed the Rheatown, the post office and postmaster's names were changed, and the third subject at right was reset with a 10c denomination. Only two are known used, including one on cover (both are December 1861 dates).
