Catalog TD-02), franked with #12 tied by "Richmond VA Oct. 13" circular datestamp with "Oct." inverted, addressed to "Rev. James P.

London" embossed at top of left backflap, Extremely Fine, this is a very nice cover between two important South Carolinians during the war.
C.S.A. Catalog $350.
The James Petigru Boyce (1827-1888) correspondence is known and he docketed many of his covers at the left regarding the sender. Boyce was a chaplain for a Confederate regiment of volunteers from Greenville, a Representative to the S.C. Legislature, and aide-de-camp to the governor of South Carolina. Boyce was founder and first president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Christoph Gustavus Memminger (1803-1888) was born in Germany. He was a month old when his father died, and his mother immigrated to South Carolina. Sadly, she died of yellow fever when he was 4, and he was placed in the Charleston Orphan House, where, at the age of 11, was adopted by future governor Thomas Bennett. When South Carolina seceded, Memminger wrote the South Carolina Declaration of Secession, was selected as a South Carolina delegate to the Confederate States Provisional Congress, and chaired the committee which drafted the Provisional Constitution of the Confederate States. When Jefferson Davis formed his first cabinet, Memminger was appointed Secretary of the Treasury on February 21, 1861. It was a difficult task in view of the Confederacy's financial challenges. He attempted to finance the government initially by bonds and tariffs, and the confiscation of gold from the United States Mint in New Orleans. Still, he soon found himself forced to extreme measures such as income taxes and fiat currency. With inflation spiraling out of control, he resigned in June 1864. He appears on the Confederate $5 bill.
