CSA #2, 10¢ blue Paterson tied SPARTANBURG / S.C. / DEC / 8 / 1862 double circle cancel on wonderful blue printed adversity cover fashioned from New York station form noting “New York, Duane Street Pier, Ticket Office, Emigrant Agency, Express Freight, Milk Agency” and more; on underside of flap is contemporary handwriting “This comes of people “going to get married directing letters upside down etc.”; back flaps sealed with red sealing wax which also peeks out from lower left corner of the stamp – obviously the gum was not sticking too well. To cap off an already nifty cover, it is nicely addressed to “Dr. C. E. Fleming, Surgeon 22nd S.C. Regt. Evans Brigade, Kinston, North Carolina”. His military records show no more than the cover address, but a full unpublished bio is included courtesy of Terry Hambrecht. Records show that while he did attend medical classes, he never received a degree although he did practice medicine. After the war he was an apothecary, cotton merchant and practiced medicine as well. He died in 1894.
