Pike to Anna Wilcox Posted from Fort McHenry, Baltimore, Maryland. This letter was enclosed in a 5.[5]” x 3” white envelope with cancelled three cent stamp in the upper right hand corner of the envelope; postmarked Jan 19 ‘64, BALTIMORE, MD. The postmark runs off the top of the envelope and not all the characters are complete. 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 C Ny The envelope was opened by tearing off the right side, this removed the ‘o’ which likely followed the ‘C’ in ‘Shenango C.’ Also written in black ink: Front of envelope has one addition problem: 40 30 340 and one multiplication problem: 40 30 40 120 1240 Back of envelope has a single line: [unreadable character]) 1 [reverse comma] 2 4 0 (1 [reverse comma] 2 4 0 Ect, �There is a black, possibly ink, semicircular stain on the top front of the envelope and a quarter inch long tear at the bottom, near the center. There is also some blue ink staining likely from the postmark of another letter on the back of the envelope. Slight foxing at the edges. Seven pin-holes in an oval pattern, six defining the oval with one in the center, were punched, from the front, through the envelope three-quarters inch from the bottom and one and one-eighth inch from the left edge. The pin-holes must have been done at a time when the letter was not in the envelope: the letter contains no pin-holes. Three pages with a note on the fourth page. 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. The blue lines of the paper are almost completely faded away, the ink the letter was written in is also quite faded. Slight foxing. A black ink stain appears on the top of page one, a portion of this stain has soaked through to page two. There are two very small (<1/32”) 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”. �Fort McHenry Letter 2 Page 1 2 3 Baltimore Jan 18/64 Dear Cozen Tis Monday evening and I find myself Seated at my [r]iting 2 Desk in my Tent trying to see what I can do towards to riting a Letter 3 yourself I am well as usual for me I received a Letter from you some two months ago and I answered This could possibly be “siting Desk” as William S.
