(Flag of Truce Usage) via Old Point Comfort Va. to Hopkinsville, Kentucky, homemade cover censored with manuscript "Ex Jno G Eustis", who was a Lieutenant in the 1st Louisiana Artillery, bearing three 1¢ blue (63) singles, stamps defective, tied with segmented cork duplexed with "Old Point Comfort Va. Apr. 18" cds; small cover flaws and some wear, Fine, ex-Walske. Estimate $750 - 1,000.
Lt. John G. Eustis's record is rather detailed with 89 pages, including one receipt he signed at Demopolis Ala. on May 12, 1864, which was only one month after this cover went through Old Point comfort Va. So this cover may have originated in Alabama and was sent through the lines to Union Occupied Territory in Kentucky.
