The mark to the left of the 3 was caused by ink in the gap of the date slug. The mark to the right is probably a 1, making the mailing day 31 and not 3, since the 3 is not centered under the A.
Leonard Town, now a single word, is located just north of the Potomac River on the southernmost peninsula of Maryland. It is located about 80% of the way from Washington DC to the Atlantic Ocean.
