VERY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING CHARLESTON S.C. POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL COVER WITH THE 5-CENT STAMP USED ON A CONFEDERATE MILITARY DEPARTMENT IMPRINT ENVELOPE.
Although the Charleston provisional is one of the more available (60-plus recorded in Crown), examples of unusual uses such as this Commissary General's Department imprint cover are extremely rare. Lieutenant Colonel Wilmot Gibbes DeSaussure (1822-1886) of the 1st Artillery Regiment of the South Carolina Militia, which was later absorbed into the Army of the Confederate States of America, commanded Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island, December 1860-January 1861, and artillery at Morris Island, March-April 1861, in the harbor of Charleston, S.C.
