State of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, will be suspended from and after the 31st instant. Letters for offices temporarily closed by this order will be forwarded to the Dead
Letter Office, except those for Western Virginia, which will be sent to Wheeling (signed) M.(ontgomery), Blair, Postmaster General. The signature is in Blair's behalf, not his own. This is a great Postal History letter, being the formal, official
