Item# 11254
Price: $SOLD
CSA 12a, 10¢ bright blue pair (tiniest top margin faults left stamp), tied EUFAULA / Ala. // AUG / 23 [1863] cds on cover (slightly reduced on right when opened) addressed to Mrs. Julia K. Sternes, Indian Springs, Georgia, which has been crossed out and redirected back to Eufaula with a manuscript “Due 20” for the forwarding and an INDIAN SPRINGS / Ga. // SEPT / 7 /1863 cds. Along with a weighty numbered 10-page letter which began August 15 but was written over several days; Arba also includes a lovely poem written for Julia. He talks about many things, including “drilling the company.” No record of Confederate Army service for Arba; he doubtless participated in the home guard. Julia was on a long multi-city trip, but her main objective was to take in the mineral springs for unspecified ill health. $500.
