Notes
Figure 3. Mobile to Huntsville, Alabama, near the Tennessee border. Since Mobile and Huntsville are over 300 miles apart, 10¢ was required to prepay the single rate. Postmarked May 18, 1850, the stamp was canceled three times by the seven bar circular grid. All the markings on this cover are in red ink.
