c. 1860 Postal Stamp Dated. "May 9 - GEORGETOWN" 3c (Scott-65), removed & hinged in place to show its design, properly tied upon this rare Lincoln cover. Mailed to Critenden's Division (sic) by Ohio Circular Date Stamp, professionally restored extreme left edge where opened. This design cataloged by Dr. James Milgram as AL-134 in Abraham Lincoln Illustrated Envelopes and Letter Paper 1860-1865." It is illustrative of how Lincoln's image historically adorned patriotic correspondence sent to soldiers in the field. At the time of this Unique "Follow the Regiment" mailing, Crittenden's Division was on the march toward battle in Tennessee. Fine condition.
