Mordecai, James Island S.C., manuscript "31/12 64" docketing; very faint trace of lightened wax seal stain at the center (a few letters of address strengthened after cleaning), slight bend at the top of the left stamp due to the placement of the strip at the top edge of the cover, still Very Fine, Ex-MacBride, Hart, Birkinbine and Hastings.

A MARVELOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS 2¢ JACKSON PAYING THE 10¢ LETTER RATE; ESPECIALLY RARE WITH THE BLUE TOWN CANCELS.

This cover was sent to the so-called South Carolina "Siege Train" on James Island. The Siege Train was a special force of C.S.A. artillery set up on James Island in an attempt to break the Union's hold on Charleston Harbor. Captain Mordecai, son-in-law of prominent Charleston resident Moses Mordecai, was the "Train's" assistant quartermaster. (Image)
