Item# 18309
Price: $3.500
Outgoing blockade: Savannah, Ga., to Rome, Italy. Locke correspondence originating in Savannah, as noted by contemporary docketing at top referring to the letter (no longer with cover), “No 62 Dated July 4th 1863 – Aug 26th 1863 Sorrento.” The envelope was under separate cover from Savannah via Charleston to Nassau and on to Barring Brothers in England. Barring Brothers removed the outer cover and entered the subject envelope into the British mails via France to Rome. Colorful transit markings front and back. Top back flap has sealed opening tear. Outbound blockade covers only make up about 30% of all blockade uses. 2007 CSA certificate. $3,500.
