“William G. Waller and his brother Henry were parish surveyors for East Baton Rouge Parish during the latter half of the nineteenth century. The collection consists of plats, legal documents, notes, and correspondence related to surveys of the City of Baton Rouge; East and West Baton
Rouge Parishes; and Greensburg, St. Helena, and Southeast Land Districts. Plats of other parishes in south Louisiana are also included. Collection contains the work of the Waller brothers and other surveyors, including Renier Swart, William McColloch, and Andre Lesage”
(William Walker survey Collection, Louisiana State University, Inclusive dates.ca. 1798-1955, Bulk dates. ca. 1847-1890; ca. 1910-1920)
Other references found for Henry and William G. Waller date back to 1842 so this cover may be genuine.
Docket at upper left says the cover contained a letter for Genl. Taylor. General and President Zachery Taylor (Nov 24, 1784-July 9, 1850) lived in Baton Rouge, La., which places the cover in the 1847 stamp period.
