entire (59XU4). Perfect strike of provisional handstamp in intense dark

blue "Southern Express Co. Montgomery Ala. Oct. 25" (1861)
double-circle datestamp on cover to Col. Tennent Lomax, 3rd Regt. Ala.
Volunteers, at Norfolk Va., top left corner slightly nicked from opening,
few faint toned spotsVERY FINE. THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THE MONTGOMERY POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE RARE SOUTHERN EXPRESS COMPANY HANDSTAMPS.
Although handstamped with the Montgomery provisional, this cover was not datestamped by the post office and appears to have been carried exclusively by the Southern Express Company (prepayment of Confederate postage was a requirement on all express mail in any case). It was probably given directly to the Southern Express Company for delivery to Colonel Lomax's regiment at Norfolk, Virginia. The circumstances of mailing are mentioned in the letter written by Mrs. Lomax to her husband. At the close of her letter, she is rushing to meet the departure of the "cars". In a postscript she writes: "Well Honey I hurried my letter to death to send by Mr. Faulkner and then he did not go. I will send you a box by Phill Sayre..." The letter also describes whipping a female slave who appeared to be running away.
We know of four other covers with similar express markings and 5c or 10c Lithographs. All are addressed to Col. Lomax.
