POINT LOOKOUT, MARYLAND: fresh inner prisoner-of-war cover to Henry M. Cunningham Esq., Co “J” 1st Div. Prison Camp, Point Lookout Md., Care of Major Comdg Post with notation “to be forwd if he is not (there).” Franked and fully prepaid as an outer cover but no postmarks so clearly sent as an inner cover, US 65, 3¢ rose uncancelled but "tied" by a small spot of gum staining, used with CSA 11, 10¢ blue (3 large margins, couple small toned spots), tied by bold manuscript "19 Dec" docketing, magenta manuscript "Died 14th Jany 1865" at top, 2000 PSE certificate 40899. $900. H.M. Cunningham is shown in prison records as a private in Company F, 3rd South Carolina Regiment who died of pneumonia on January 8, 1865, and is buried in the Confederate Cemetery at Point Lookout. Captured at North Anna May 23, 1864. I could not find records specifically for Henry M. Cunningham and there are enough inconsistencies to be certain of this identification as our addressee. More research needed.
