CSA 1b, 5¢ dark green right sheet margin single (couple small faults) tied KNOXVILLE / TENdouble circle and pen cancel on homemade cover to “Harmon G. Lea, Esq., Care Dr. S. Shields, near Blains X Roads, Grainger Co, Te” (today the Knoxville suburb of Blaine) Ex Scott Gallagher. Interesting docketing on top back flap “Mr. Story may oblige Maj. Lea by sending this by private hand if any offer before the mail. If not, he will please to mail this at Bean’s Station to go by Rutledge.” The Battle of Bean’s Station was December 14, 1863. Harmon G. Lea was a delegate to the convention in East Tennessee. Major (not a rank, rather a given name) Lea apparently wrote the letter enclosed in the cover. [TN] $250.
