Census of Jackson, Mississippi, Confederate Postmasters’ Provisionals Compiled by Francis J. Crown, Jr. Description and Notes A-JAC-MS-E01 JAC-MS-E01 JAC-MS-E01 The Jackson provisional markings The 3-cent provisional marking is known revalued for the 5-cent and 10-cent Confederate rates. Therefore, it has been assumed the 3-cent marking was also used as a provisional before 1 June 1861. There is no recorded “Paid 5” stampless marking for Jackson. This and the large number of 5- cent provisionals indicates the provisional marking may have been used to mark both mail paid at time of mailing (stampless) and to mark provisional envelopes This dual use of the 5-cent provisional marking is reinforced by the marking’s use on a folded letter and a cover with “charge box” docketing. Although this census lists over 60 different Jackson provisional covers others are recorded in the following censuses: Charles J. Phillips and Frank E. Hart in Surveys of the Confederate Postmasters’ Provisionals, edited by Francis J. Crown, Jr., Quarterman Publications, 1982. pp. 150-153, 464-465; and “Mississippi Postmaster Provisionals”, by F. W. Kressman, Jr., Dixie Philatelist, Spring 1984, pp. 3-9.
