CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA, / SURGEON GENERAL'S OFFICE / OFFICIAL BUSINESS imprinted envelope (CSA Catalog Type WD-MD-10 – the listing copy) used from Richmond to Richmond as a drop letter with a black "PAID" and manuscript "2." The Richmond postmaster could not find his Paid 2 handstamps or this use is after the time period that they stopped being used (because they were lost, broken or worn out).  Peter Powell's Confederate States of America Markings and Postal History of Richmond, Virginia lists July 24, 1863, as the last date that a handstamp "Paid 2" marking was used. This item is from the collection of noted Confederate collector Sam Zimmerman who indicated that he bought it out of Kaufmann Sale 100 in 1984 for $440. Scarce rate and scarce imprinted envelope. $525
