Notes
Scott #1 tied by San Francisco, Ca cds dated MAR 23 on envelope to Stephen Baldwin & Co. in Philadelphia.
Cover submitted to Thomas Alexander by John M. Mahoney, who speculated that the cover was probably not genuine but was possibly a ship letter that travelled port to port rather than overland, where the postage would have been 40c.
