Letter 3
Item Code: AWL03
Unedited Transcription
26 February, 1864
William S. Pike to Anna Wilcox
Posted from Fort McHenry, Baltimore Maryland
This letter was enclosed in a 5.[5]” x 3” white envelope, postmarked Feb 27 ‘64,
BALTIMORE, MD. The postmark is blurry, slightly faded, with portions of the
print missing. The postmark is 1 3/16” in diameter. The stamp has been cut from
upper the right hand corner of the envelope, part of the cancellation remains.
Both the postmark and the cancellation are blue ink.
Addressed in black ink to:
Miss Anna Wilcox
Smyrna
Shenango
Ny
The envelope was opened by tearing off the right side. This removed the ‘Co’
that likely followed ‘Shenango.’ There is very slight discoloration on the back of
the envelope, with some blue ink staining from the postmark and cancellation of
another letter.
Three and one-half pages.
One 8” x 10” sheet folded to form four 5” x 8” pages.
Written in black ink on blue lined stationery paper, page four appears to
have been unlined. Embossed with an indiscernible impression in the upper left
hand corners of pages one and three. Watermarked with ten horizontal lines. The
ink of the letter is quite faded. No foxing evident. One pin-sized hole where the
upper of the two horizontal creases crosses the single vertical crease. There is a
3/8” tear at the free end of the upper crease on page three/four. There are three
creases: one vertical and two horizontal. Folded size is 5” x 2.75”.

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

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

One 6.5” x 8” sheet folded to form four 4” x 6.5” pages.

William S. Pike to Anna Wilcox
Posted from the Washington Street Hospital, Alexandria, Virginia.
This letter was enclosed in a 5.5” x 3.125” white envelope, with cancelled three
cent stamp in the upper right hand corner of the envelope; postmarked Aug 28
‘64, ALEXANDRIA, VA. The postmark is 1 3/16” in diameter, is partly stamped
off the envelope, and partly overlays the stamp. The stamp cancellation is
stamped partly off the envelope, consisting of four concentric circles, the largest
is 3/4” in diameter and the smallest is 3/16” in diameter. Both the postmark and the

The envelope was opened by cutting the left side. Slight foxing along the edges.
The envelope has a stain of unknown origin along the right edge, it extends into
the envelope approximately one-half inch on the front and three-quarters inch on
the back. The upper left edge of the back has a black stamp cancellation stamped
partly off the envelope, the lower third of the cancellation is faded/missing.
Three pages.
One 8” x 10” sheet folded to form four 5” x 8” pages.
Written in black ink on blue lined stationery paper, page four appears to

three, with a seal in the shape of a shield surmounted by a crown with a banner
below. Watermarked with eight horizontal lines. Ink appears unfaded. Very
slight foxing. Staining along the vertical crease: this is from the same time and
source as the staining on the envelope. There is an ink stain on page three from
where WSP scribbled out a word. The scribbling bled through to page four.

crosses the single vertical crease. Folded size is 5” x 2.875”.
