KINGSTON / Gᾼ // AUG / 29 cds with matching PAID 10, CC Type C, to Mrs. Howell Cobb, Athens, Ga on turned cover with U.S. #26, 3¢ dull red tied ROME / GA // APR / 11 cds addressed to Col. O. H. Prince, Kingston, Ga. Former owner declared this 1861 but I can find no evidence to justify that – more likely prewar use. The only O. H. Prince I found in military records was Capt. Oliver H. Prince, 43rd Alabama Infantry, killed at Chickamauga, GA. Oliver Hillhouse Prince (1787-1837) was a U.S. Senator from Georgia and Col. O. H. Prince likely a direct descendant. [GA] $250.
