#11c, large 4-margin copy of 10¢ greenish-blue
tied by neat RICHMOND/VA/ MAY 17 (1864) cds to
Whitmell Va and docketed in pencil "last letter recd
May 14 1864" and on verso "in memory of James
Booker". In researching Booker online, this very cover
is illustrated at http://etext.virginia.edu/civilwar/booker/#1864
from the University of Virginia Library collection.
The
website states: "This collection includes 22 letters
(July 1861 - April 1864) from twin brothers John Booker
(1840-1864) and James Booker (1840-1923) of Pittsylvania
County, Virginia, to their cousin Chloe Unity Blair (1839-75).
John and James were born to John Booker (1797-1859) and
Nancy Blair Reynolds Booker (1796-1859) on October 10, 1840,
and both enlisted in the Confederate Army on May 24,
1861, at Whitmell, Virginia, in Company D 38th Virginia
Regiment, Infantry (also known as "the Whitmell Guards").
They began writing letters to their cousin soon after enlisting,
and they continued until they were both severely wounded
in the Battle of Drewry's Bluff near Petersburg, Virginia,
on May 16, 1864. John died of his wounds in August 1864,
but James recovered, married Martha Ann Fulton … of
Pittsylvania County, on October 31, 1867, and lived until
1923". Clearly this cover contained the last letter
before they were wounded. |

CSA #11, 10¢ blue tied ms "Chester Va/Sept
5/64" cancel on homemade cover to "Miss Mary F.
Bugg, R(andolph) M(acon) College, Mecklenburg Co., Virginia".
Chester is in Chesterfield County, Virginia. Chester was defined
by being a stop on the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad and
was also the scene of a battle. Faint water stained. Light
contemporary "A.N.V" (Army of Northern Virginia)
at upper left so no doubt from a soldier but no docketing
as it was paid instead of sent "due". There were
numerous soldiers by the name of Bugg from Virginia so more
research needed. Scarce manuscript cancel. |
