R.E. Lee Genl signed field endorsement on cover to Revd A.W. Miller in Petersburg, Virginia. A bit of soiling but a rare and popular item. University Archives certificate of authenticity signed by John M. Reznikoff in May 2002. Capt. James Monroe’s census in 2001 showed only 15 known Lee-endorsed postally used field covers. The majority were carried outside the mails by military courier, as is this. Ex Ralph Swap. $6,500. 

Rev. Arnold W. Miller justified slavery through Christianity: "Thus, the relation of slavery will ever continue in the world, rendered perpetual by Christianity, because it points to Christ, who took upon Him the form of a slave... The Christianity of the Old Testament did not condemn it, neither does the Christianity of the New." Whew. Not my view.
