Best described here by our illustrations as to condition and eye appeal, this Confederate postal cover bears a pair of the 1863/64 Jefferson Davis, 10c stamps designed and engraved by Frederick Halpin, (CSA #12, Type II). Of particular interest to the historian will be that the cover is addressed to Mis Regina ‘Lily’ Harrison daughter toJames Thomas Harrison Confederate delegate to the Montgomery Convention that formed the Confederate States, delegate to the Confederate Provisional Congress (1861–62) and member of the Confederate Congress for the entire war , representing Mississippi. Of additional interest and likely most importance to Confederate historians will be that ‘Mis Lily Harrison’ became the wife of Confederate Lt. Gen. Stephen Dill Lee who likely authored the cover to his beloved future wife Lily. While we are not expert the penned address seems by comparison likely to be in the hand of the Lt. Gen. Stephen Lee. Further, Lee’s existing letters to Regina Harrison refer to her by her middle name Lily. A desirable Confederate historical remnant above and beyond the Jefferson Davis postage stamps.
