CSA 11-ADa, 10¢ light blue approaching milky shade tied MACON / GA. double circle cancel on homemade cover to “Capt. H. A. Troutman, Care of Major W.

Cobb, Macon, Georgia” with notation “If absent, L. or H. will please attend to contents” – that no doubt being “Lamar” or “Howell”. Howell Cobb served as president of the Confederate Provisional Congress (1861-62) and a major general of the Confederate army.

CSA 11, 10¢ blue tied RICHMOND / Va. // DEC / 20 cds as well as indistinct cds of LIBERTY / Va. / DEC X2. (overlays perfectly with reference of that cds). It is addressed to “Miss Julia Selden, Contract Beauro (sic) Office, Post Office Dep., Richmond, Va” which makes it an overpaid drop and possibly misdirected to Liberty and back to Richmond without other postage as is to the P.O. Department. Or it could be that it is a Dec 12, not Dec 22 cds and originated in Liberty. Speculative scenario, but an interesting piece. $150.

CSA 11-ADc, 10¢ greenish blue (4 huge margins all around) tied by CHATTANOOGA / Ten. // OCT / 29 (1863) cds used as Army of Tennessee field cancel, upper right corner of cover restored and part flap missing.

The Chickamauga cancel was long thought to be an Army of Tennessee field cancel, but recent research by noted military postal history student Stefan Jaronski has proved otherwise.

Signed by sender “H.W. Arledge, Capt. Com(manding) Co(mpany) Scouts” who states to General Hill that when he left Hill’s headquarters near Oxford, he proceeded to Perkins Ferry on the Coosa River. Part of his command is on this side of the river, but they were to collect the balance of the company and proceed to Bridgeport. Arledge has just learned that Hill requests him to report to him at Jacksonville. He states he will do so if high water does not prevent him. He is troubled about arms and ammunition. He states that some of his men are poorly mounted. Transcription included. A LATE USE with great military content from a SCOUT.  FABULOUS ORIGINAL MILITARY LETTER to a general officer.
