Description:

Cicil War Patriotic - soldier's letter - with US Ship 3 marking.  Franked at upper right by W Zabriski, Major, 9th Ct. I. Vol, and addressed to Miss Jennie Van Houten in Hackensack, NJ. Docketed on the back 1/3/1864.  The envelope is  somewhat faulty but is still a wonderful combination of elements and might be acceptable until something better comes along.


Seller refers to a "soldier's letter", but doesn't mention an actual letter or - if there IS one - what its contents might be.

I'm guessing it's just a cover - a $60 cover.


Update: seller informs me that there is no letter.
