Number 38 in the Hayes census
The 1845, 46, 47, and 48 editions of McElroy's lists Margaret S. Wetherill at 461 Mulberry Street near 12th. Mulberry Street was officially changed to Arch Street in 1854 but was known by that name much earlier.
Year of useage is 1846 or 1847. There is also a Jan 24th cover in the census. They were probably mailed in the same year.
The 1849 Baltimore City Directory lists William Hamilton as a printer.
