postmaster receives letters addressed to her written 153 years ago by a Civil War soldier

Clue

Luckily, the mysterious envelope had more evidence laced on it that gave away clues about from where the letter sourced and who was its writer. This is true that the original stamp was taken off the envelope but when it got into the mail in 1862, the Postal employee who was organizing the mails pressed an ink stamp against it that read “Norfolk, VA.”
