Lot 23. Folded letter Gonaives 6 February 1846 to Boston, probably carried outside the mails to Port au Prince. Strike of Port Republicain (Port au Prince) negative oval handstamp, the only example seen of this marking. Strike of New York large circle with “SHIP APR 6 12cts” inside, two cents ship letter plus 10 cents postage New York to Boston. The letter has a vertical file fold slightly affecting the oval handstamp. Letter is two pages in English, legible, paper is sound and clean for this with a couple of small stains. Nice strike of one of the most scarce markings of Haiti.
