Description: UPDATE Apr 29 2021: I received the following information on the personthis letter is written to(Thanks Jake): Captain John G. Lobban, Co. F (originally Co. K) 49th Virginia Volunteer Infantry, 4th Brigade General Jubal Early's Division was captured at Cedar Creek on October 19th, 1864. He was released from Fort Delaware prison on June 10, 1865. The company came from Nelson County, VA. The company was at Yorktown from March- April, 1862. Below is the original listing: This is a fabulous antique. A envelope addressedto a Captain in the Confederate Army, 49th Regiment,4 Brigade. I can't make out the Division name, possibly GeneralEarly's Division. The cursive writing is very stylishand very difficult to make out. The hand stamped cancellation on the stampslooks like Apr 10, but no year. Possibly Hamilton's Crossing on the next to the last line. On the bottom the State of Virginia. Thereis a Hamilton's Crossing listed in Fredericksburg,Virginia. Hamilton’s Crossing was a critical supply base forConfederate troops camped near Fredericksburgduring the winter of 1862-63. Prior to the Civil War,Hamilton’s Crossing had been merely a flag-stopon the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and PotomacRailroad line. The 49th Infantry Regiment completed its organization in July, 1861. Its members were from the counties of Prince William, Warren, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Amherst, and Shenandoah. Three companies fought at First Manassas and these companies formed the nucleus of the regiment. It was assigned to General Featherston's, Early's, W. Smith's, Pegram's, and J.A. Walker's Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia.On April 9, 1865, it surrendered with 9 officers and 46 men. The field officers were Colonels John C. Gibson and William Smith, Lieutenant Colonels Charles B. Christian and Edward Murray, and Major Caleb Smith. This is one of many stamps I collected backwhen I was knee high to a grasshopper. Stampsare in Mint condition, never used. I bought themfrom my local post office along with thosegiven to me by my father who also collectedthem.
