A beautiful 1860s United States Sanitary Commission sick or wounded soldier’s letter cover incorporating #65 with Aug 17 Holliston, MA cancel. No letter.

The United States Sanitary Commission (USSC) was a private relief agency created by federal legislation on June 18, 1861, to support sick and wounded soldiers of the United States Army during the American Civil War.

A wonderful addition to any 19th Century Cover or Civil War Collection!

I have actively collected stamps and related philatelic materials since 1977.  I fondly remember going with my uncle in the 1970s to the Rexall Drugstore where the Postmaster would show me many current and older issues in the little Post Office (the “Stamp Cage”) adjacent to the pharmacy counter while my uncle talked with his friend the pharmacist.  My purchase was usually US$ 1 to US$ 5 and my uncle would always pay!  I cherish those memories. I have added a fine selection of many stamps, covers and philatelic materials to my store.  I hope you enjoy the selections I am offering and perhaps you will want some in your collection!
