EDEY'S EXPRESS OPERATED BRIEFLY FROM JUNE UNTIL LATE OCTOBER 1862.Arthur H. Edey enlisted as a Private in Co. A, 5th Regiment, Texas Infantry, on July 19, 1861, at Houston. He was detailed as agent for the regiment at the Texas Depot in Richmond on Feb. 7, 1862. In this capacity, Edey facilitated mail service between members of the regiment serving east of the Mississippi and their correspondents back home. Edey affixed his label to envelopes that were carried by civilians or soldiers who were willing to take them and mail them when they arrived in Texas. In October 1862 Edey was transferred back to the 5th Texas Regiment and was replaced by Sergeant Jefferson Wright, who left his position after a month. Edey was wounded and captured at Gettysburg on July 2, 1863, and sent to Fort Wood, New York Harbor. He was paroled on April 15, 1865. (Updated info from Crown, CWPS website).The CWPS census records eight examples of Edey's label, including a few heavily stained or defective covers. Only four have the label on the front of the cover. This cover was sent by Tacitus T. Clay, who was promoted to captain in the 5th Texas Regiment in October 1861 and served as acting lieutenant-colonel and colonel at various times during 1863 and 1864. Clay was wounded at Gaines' Mill, the Wilderness, and Darbytown Road—as a result of his injuries at Darbytown, Clay's leg was amputated.Ex Corwin and Sale 1238 (lot 322).
