FORT DELAWARE, DELAWARE: CSA 12, 10¢ blue left sheet margin tied RICHMOND Va. SEP 14 186(3) and US 65, 3¢ rose (tiny Richmond CDS type 5d used August-December 1863 (Powell). WONDERFUL USE OF POSTAGE FROM BOTH BELLIGERENTS. $1,000.tear in left margin) tied by blue grid with matching early blue DELAWARE CITY DEL SEP 4 on cover to William W. Webb Esqr. Lunenburg CH Virginia with censor “Examined Jno O. Wilson” at top. This postmark is quite scarce in blue. The examiner is listed in Harrison as censoring October 1863-March 9, 1864. This is clearly earlier in September 1863 before they started using handstamped examined markings and thus the EARLIEST USE OF THIS EXAMINER (Jonathan O. Wilson).
