THE ONLY RECORDED 1847 COVER FROM FORT GAINES.
Expertization: 1989 P.F. Certificate.
Provenance: "Seven Oaks"
Fort Gaines did not receive stamps of either denomination. It is likely the sender, R.N. Swift, carried his own supply and may have even cancelled this himself, based on the fact that another Swift cover (from Columbia, Ala.), has the 10¢ pen cancelled in the same manner.
