Alexander reasons this cover is dated Nov 1, 1847 because (1) the Cambria sailed on Nov 1st, 1847 and (2) he confused this cover with Siegel sale 458 lot 772 (William Tedford cover to London) which also sailed on the Cambria and described in the sales catalog as going to England (not mentioning London).
