An important date cover postmarked Secession Day in South Carolina, making it a First Day of the Confederacy cover (of one of the several ways to define that). 20th 1860" manuscript cancel on an immaculate cover addressed to "P.

The letter is not present. You are purchasing the postal envelope only. I do not have the original. It was separated from the "cover" long ago. ONE of the reasons it is collectible is because of the fact that the local postmaster applied postal markings considered appropriate for the letter's journey--namely: The originating town name and a rate.

Because of the rates, markings usage, the addressee or something that might appeal to the collector. Sometimes I will require this to protect us both. This item is in the category "Stamps\United States\Covers\Postal History".
