Specific handstamps were used by the post offices in Memphis, Nashville, and New Orleans to indicate the suspension of mail service during and after the Civil War. Mail was then sent to the Dead Letter Office in Washington, DC, where an additional "Mails Suspended" handstamp was sometimes applied. These markings are discussed in more detail in Benjamin Wishnietsky's 1983 article "Thoughts On 'Mails Suspended'" in the Confederate Philatelist (Vol. 28, No. 4).
