Notes
10c black (2), margins huge to just in at R, very fine impression, tied by red grid matching Mobile Ala datestamp on Oct 1850 cover to Philadelphia, Whelen correspondence, fine with PF certificate.
Christie's sale 3/14-15/90
Alexander lists two covers in October 1850 : 10/13 addressed to Messrs ES Whelen & Co and 10/18 addressed to Mess ES Whelen & Co w/ a PF certificate. This may be a duplicate listing. The enlarged ds suggests the actual date is 10/18 but the honorific points to 10/13
Alexander listed as 10/13/50
