1864 Lexington MS to Canton MS CSA Postal Accounting Form Overcharge Noted ZAYIX

1864 CSA Postal Accounting Form – Lexington, Mississippi to Canton, Mississippi – Overcharge Notation & Lexington Datestamp This scarce Confederate postal accounting form documents mail transferred from Lexington, Mississippi to Canton, Mississippi in 1864 during the final year of the Civil War. Produced on thin wartime brownish paper typical of late-war scarcity, it records one letter rated at 10¢ unpaid, a standard CSA distance rate. The form includes a bold manuscript notation: “Overcharged 10¢ / all were paid by stamps – one on back” This indicates a billing dispute between post offices—an uncommon postal accounting remark that adds significant collector appeal. The form bears a faint but fully legible LEXINGTON / MISS. circular datestamp struck at lower right, alongside the manuscript accounting. The postmaster line is printed “E. Hoskins, P.M.” (a known CSA-era Lexington postmaster), with no manuscript signature present on this specific item. Historical Context Durin
