US U26, 3¢ star-die, pen canceled with two light strikes of tobacco-juice brown PALMYRA VA MAY 2 (1861) CDS on interesting TURNED COVER to Miss Jane E. Sutherland, Howardsville Cty, Va. This is a listed in the CSA catalog as an Independent State Use(CCV $300). Virginia seceded April 17 and joined the CSA May 7. The leftmost CDS shows a clear “2” but is under the flap. The second side is franked with a single CSA 1 on the back flaps with a manuscript Scottsville Va. July 3rd, crossed out and corrected to the 5th. This has to be 1862 so is UNDERPAID, as the rate changed to a universal 10¢ on July 1, 1862. It is addressed to Mr. C.V.Thomas, Richmond to the care of Capt. Ancell Pendleton’s Artilery (sic). Separated on 3 sides with folds to display the uses. Also, a note at bottom “Stamped on back also.” Very interesting cover! Ex Ralph Swap. $180.
