Notes
1, Baltimore, MD Jan/28 Blue CDS w/ matching grid cnl ties stamp (sm flts) to Blue FL cover, soiled, missing piece on reverse, addr West Haverford PA, Fine
Nutmeg sale 175 lot 5367
Not listed in Alexander
Letter may be addressed to Isaac Tristam Tyson (1836-1878), son of Nathan Tyson (a prominent merchant and president of the Baltimore Corn and Flour Exchange) and Martha Ellicott.
Haverford School was renamed Haverford College in 1856. Records show that Isaac T. Tyson attended the school in 1853, and not 1851, well after the stamp was demonetized. [Note, the school was a prep school for Quaker boys and men in the early 1850s so, although Isaac was only 15 in 1851, he might have attended the school contemporarily with the use of the 1847 stamp.]
