Taylor, the cover was turned, resealed, then sent from Imbolen to Major H. W. Gilmon. In 1863, General Robert E. Lee assigned Imbolen the command of the Valley District, Stonewall Jackson's old district. Early in May, 1864, Imbolen marched from Mount Crawford, Virginia and held the Federals in check until, reinforced by Breckinridge, the successful battle of New Market was fought. The postmark is indistinct with a tear to the left. The top and left side are ragged due to opening. The cover is toned. Good.
