The D.K. Collection of Southern Postmasters' Provisionals of the American Civil War continued...

Memphis, Tennessee continued...
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1054 c ImageMemphis Tenn., 5c Red on Amber entire (56XU2). Provisional printed partly off top of cover, cancelled by "Memphis Ten. Sep. 4, 1861" circular datestamp to Gaines Landing Ark., well-struck Memphis "Due 5" handstamp and also manuscript "Due 5", expertly restored

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A STRIKING EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT MEMPHIS PROVISIONAL ENTIRE ON AMBER. VERY UNUSUAL WITH BOTH THE MISPRINTING AND THE "DUE 5" MARKINGS.

The distance between Memphis and Gaines Landing is under 500 miles, so this was charged the extra 5c for excess weight, or perhaps the misprinted provisional was not accepted.

1055 c ImageMemphis Tenn., 5c Red on Cream entire (56XU4). With 10c Blue, Die A (11) affixed over printed provisional stamp and tied by "Chattanooga Ten. Aug. 27" (1863) circular datestamp, addressed to Mebanesville N.C., barely reduced at left and trivial edgewear

VERY FINE. THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THE RECENTLY-LISTED MEMPHIS PROVISIONAL ENVELOPE ON CREAM PAPER. THIS ENVELOPE WAS USED AS STATIONERY AFTER THE FALL OF MEMPHIS.

This is an August 1863 use from Chattanooga just before Confederate forces evacuated the city in September 1863. Memphis had fallen in June 1862, and this envelope was probably carried out by a civilian fleeing the city.
