Item# 20309
Price: $125
CSA 1, 5¢ green used with Lylesford SC June 13 manuscript postmark on cover to Col. Thos. A. Dawkins, Unionville, S.C. The military title was honorary as he was a judge. Judge Thomas Dawkins was a unionist, a position that put him in the minority during the nullification controversary. Nonetheless, he was well regarded by his Confederate peers. His home was briefly used as the headquarters of Governor Andrew McGrath, who evacuated Columbia just before General Sherman burned the city. The two had attended college together and McGrath chose Union as his provisional capital, one of four state capitals to serve South Carolina. Small tear at top of cover and a few small flap faults. $125.
