Unedited Transcript
01 May, 1864
William S. Pike to Anna Wilcox
Posted from Fort No.5, Baltimore, Maryland
This letter was enclosed in a 4.25” x 2.5” white envelope, with cancelled three
cent stamp in the upper left hand corner of the envelope; postmarked [May] 2
[‘64, BALTIMORE], MD. The postmark, rather than the stamp cancellation,
overlays the stamp. The postmark is incomplete, little is discernable other than the
‘2’ of the date and the abbreviation ‘MD.’ The postmark is 1 3/16” in diameter.
The stamp cancellation consists of four concentric circles, the largest is 3/4” in
diameter and the smallest is 3/16” in diameter. Both the postmark and the
cancellation are blue ink.
Addressed in black ink to:
Miss Anna Wilcox
Smyrna
Shenango Co
NY
The envelope was opened by cutting the left side. Slight foxing along the edges.
There is blue ink staining on the back of the envelope, likely from the postmarks
and cancellations of other letters. The center circle of the cancellations has been
traced in pencil and the symbol
has been drawn twice in pencil along with
one like this
.
The back of the envelope is addressed in pencil to, in different handwriting than
on the front:
Anna E. Willcox
Smyrna
Chenango
County
NY
Three and one-half pages.
One 6.5” x 8” sheet folded to form four 4” x 6.5” pages.
�Written in black ink on blue lined stationery paper, page four appears to
have been unlined. Watermarked with eight vertical lines. The ink is slightly
faded. Very slight foxing. There are three creases: one vertical and two
horizontal. Folded size is 4” x 2.375”.

Letter 5
Item Code: AWL05
Unedited Transcription
17 April, 1864
William S. Pike to Anna Wilcox
Posted from Fort No. 5, Baltimore, Maryland
This letter was enclosed in a 5.25” x 2.875” white envelope with cancelled three
cent stamp in the upper left hand corner of the envelope; postmarked Apr 1[8]
‘64, BALTIMORE, MD. The postmark, rather than the stamp cancellation,
overlays the stamp. The postmark is incomplete, with some characters missing
entirely and portions missing from all characters present. The postmark is 1 3/16”
in diameter. The stamp cancellation consists of four concentric circles, the largest
is 3/4” in diameter and the smallest is 3/16” in diameter. Both the postmark and the
cancellation are blue ink.
Addressed in black ink to:
Miss Anna Wilcox
Smyrna
Shenango Co
NY
The envelope was opened by cutting the left side. Foxing/staining along most of
bottom edge. There is blue ink staining on both the front and back of the
envelope, likely from the postmarks and cancellations of other letters.
Three pages.
One 8” x 10” sheet folded to form four 5” x 8” pages.
Written in black ink on unlined stationery paper. Watermarked with
eleven horizontal lines. The ink is slightly faded. Very slight foxing. There are
two small (<1/8”) holes where the two horizontal creases cross the single vertical
crease. There are three creases: one vertical and two horizontal. Folded size is
5” x 2.75”.
