1863 (Oct. 12) Confederate States of America, Treasury
Department もっと見る 1863 (Oct. 12) Confederate States of America, Treasury Department Semi-Official Imprint (C.S.A. Catalog TD-02), franked with #12 tied by "Richmond VA Oct. 13" circular datestamp with "Oct." inverted, addressed to "Rev. James P. Boyce, Greenville S.C." and docketed by Boyce as being sent by "C.G. Memminger Oct. 12, 1863", cover with "De La Rue & Co. 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.

Overland via Southampton 1864 (Sept 26): Cover from Adelaide, もっと見る
Overland via Southampton 1864 (Sept 26): Cover from Adelaide, South
Australia to Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA bearing South Australia 1864
rouletted 2 d. bright vermillion, 6 d. greenish blue and 6 d. dull
ultramarine (corner faults) cancelled by Adelaide datestamp and
prepaying 1 s. 2 d. for a ½ ounce ship letter to the United States.
Postal markings include “8” (pence) manuscript in red credit to the
USA and re-rated to “16 CENTS” with handstamp in red for
Transatlantic shipment via an American packet. “CHICAGO Am. PKT/ 5”
denoting 5 cents inland postage to be paid by the recipient and
further rerated with Depreciated Currency “11 / US NOTES” at
Chicago if the addressee was paying in United States of America
banknotes instead of coins. A fine and unique cover. Note: During
the American Civil War from 1861-1865, inflation caused banknote
currency to rapidly devalue, and unpaid letters were being paid
with these inflationary notes. In March 1863, the Postmaster
General implemented a premium system if the recipients paid by
banknotes instead of coins, leading to a period of what is called
“fractional / depreciated currency”. For almost two years, dual
rating handstamps were applied until May 1865. Detailed notes on
United States Depreciated Currency are included with this lot. The
only Depreciated Currency cover recorded on mail from the
Australian Colonies. Route - Australasian Steam Navigation Co:
Departed Adelaide 27 Sept 1864 per “Rangatira” to King George’s
Sound. P&O Line: Departed King George’s Sound (3 Oct) per

Alexandria; “Baroda” (8 Nov) via Malta (11 Nov) to Southampton; by
