THE FINEST OF THREE RECORDED 2-CENT LITHOGRAPH STRIPS OF FIVE ON COVERS ORIGINATING FROM TEXAS. AN OUTSTANDING RARITY.
The census of 2c Lithographs on cover published by Dan Warren in the 2011 Congress Book records a total of only 11 covers from Texas, including three with strips of five. The other two listed are from the Perry correspondence, but they appear to be the same cover listed twice. The Perry cover has significant repairs (Siegel Sale 907, lot 2842). There is also one additional cover from the Perry correspondence that originated in Texas, but was hand-carried to Shreveport and received military field cancels, and as such is not counted by Warren in the Texas section (Siegel Sale 823, lot 474).

VERY FINE USE OF THE 2-CENT LITHOGRAPH ON A CIRCULAR FROM THE CONFEDERATE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REALTED TO CONFISCATION OF UNION PROPERTY IN THE SOUTH.
The circular relates to sequestration of property of "alien enemies". According to Wikipedia, the 1861 Sequestration Act was an attempt to garner resources for the Confederate government and "provided for confiscation of all Union 'lands, tenements, goods and chattels, right and credits' and the transfer of debt obligation on the part of Confederate citizens from Northern creditors directly to the Confederate government." Wade Keys was Assistant Attorney General and twice served as Acting Attorney General, in 1861 and from 1863-64, during vacancies of the permanent appointees.
