Unedited Transcription
24 January, 1865
William S. Pike to Anna Wilcox
Washington Street Hospital, Alexandria, Virginia
This letter was enclosed in a 5.[25]” x 3” white envelope, with a cancelled three
cent stamp in the upper left corner; postmarked Jan 24, ALEXANDRIA, VA.
The postmark is 15/16” in diameter and overlays the stamp. The stamp
cancellation consists of four concentric circles, the largest is 3/4” in diameter and
the smallest is 3/16” in diameter. The postmark and stamp cancellation are black
ink.
Addressed in blue ink to:
Miss Annie Wilcox
Smyrna
Chenango C[o]
N.Y.
The envelope was opened by tearing off the right side. The tear removed the ‘o’
from ‘Chenango Co.’ Very slight foxing along the edges. The envelope is very
yellowed. This is a light tan stain, probably water, along the top edge of the
envelope, above the cancellation.
Three pages.
One 8” x 10” sheet folded to form four 5” x 8” pages.
Written in blue ink on unlined stationery paper. Ink appears unfaded.
Very slight foxing. There is one small (<1/16”) hole where the lower of the two
horizontal creases crosses the single vertical crease. There are three creases: one
vertical and two horizontal. Folded size is 5” x 2.875”.
