BATON ROUGE, LA.: 5c green & carmine (Maltese cross border) two singles (Pos. 2 and 3, Calhoun types B and A) tied by fine strike of black "BATON ROUGE, La./NOV/19/1861" cds to cover to Mount Lebanon, La. with BLUE PRINTED RETURN CARD OF GEORGE A. PIKE. The stamps with good margins, fresh and fine, the envelope slightly reduced at left and opened somewhat roughly (tears at top and into backflaps from which a portion of the left one is missing) and a weak trace of central fold, but still A MOST ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE OF THE SIX RECORDED COVERS WITH THE PRINTED RETURN CARD OF GEORGE A.
