Addressed to Genl. Wm. H. Fitzhugh Lee, Tunstall's Station P.O., New Kent Co., Virginia with a cancelled 3 cent stamp (locomotive, issued March 27, 1869). Envelope is postmarked Oct. 19 (but, of course, with no year). South Carolina Historical Society holds a letter from Robert E. Lee to Fitzhugh dated Oct. 18, 1869 (that purportedly is the one from this envelope). Content personal/family matters. William Henry Fitzhugh Lee (1837-1891) was the second son of Confederate General Robert E. Lee (1807-1870), and himself rose to the rank of Major General. After the war, "Rooney" returned to planting at White House Plantation. After his mother's death, he inherited Ravensworth Plantation in Fairfax County. He later served in the Virginia state Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives (1887-1891). Condition: Expected surface soil, as postal covers tend to have. Otherwise, very good.
