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
