Estimate    $150 - 200.

Only Official Post Office Department mail traveled free of charge. No such covers into or out of the main Charleston Post Office during the war are known to date, likely due to the relocation of postal operations several times in 1863-64, when nearly all the records were probably destroyed. Danner's Cross Road was a tiny post office located near Charleston.

Realized: $100
