A fine example of a hand-delivered letter, with the super Southern “politeness of” confirming the let-
ter’s hand delivery, by someone not necessarily the post man. This is a rare cover and was made by L.
E. Pradat, Gothic Store, in Shieldsborough, MS. An example can be seen in Wishnietsky
(Confederate Covers) page 76, figure 118.
