Notes
Scott #1 on cover from Baltimore Md to Wellsburg Va with 5c 1847 precancelled. Due 5 in manuscript indicates five cents postage collected.
Cover from the collection of Robert F. Brinton.

Alexander listed as 10/8/xx
The stamp is clearly tied in the lower right corner by the addressee’s name so was the Due 5 marking applied by the Baltimore postal clerk because he thought the stamp was reused and disallowed it?
