| Lot 11. Folded letter, Port au Prince 10 July 1837 to Glasgow via
Philadelphia and New York, and forwarded at New York to destination by Groheim &
Schreiber. Letter is somewhat busy with markings but still attractive.
Philadelphia arrival marking in blue, “SHIP” in blue, 14 ½ cents US postage
paid, fine strike of large red oval forwarder’s marking by Groheim & Schreiber,
British “Liverpool Ship Letter” in box, and Glasgow arrival date stamp. Contents
three pages plus in a small hand in English. A bit difficult to read because
the ink from one side of the paper is visible from the other. Paper is sound
but missing two small areas perhaps 1 cm square. Interesting. |
