This uncommon cover(slightly-reduced envelope is pretty clean, and has a tear in its right side connected with the original opening   of the mail; back flap is 90% intact)was sent on December 22, 1850s, from Savannah(a pretty fine, balloon CDS!), Georgia, to an F.W. Miner, Paris, Lamar County, Texas! Frederick W. Miner was originally from Connecticut, and had later moved to Virginia, where he became a lawyer. He then moved to Paris, Texas, where he would be an editor of a local newspaper, and later joined the Confederate States Army, serving under General Douglas! Interestingly, after the war, he was appointed U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, and after that a Federal District Judge! He was removed from office by President Rutherford B. Hayes for malfeasance in 1882. As for the rust red, 3-Cent, Scott #26(?), it's in fair condition at best, with some perf damage to it bottom, left corner, and some shorter perfs at its top. Noted imperfections aside, this cover remains a nifty piece of postal history connected to Georgia, Texas, and Frederick W. Miner, lawyer, editor of a newspaper, Confederate soldier, and Federal Attorney and Judge!
