Notes
Lot 1238 5c red brown (1), clear to large margins, tied by red square grid, red New York ds on Jan 1851 folded cover, fine
Christies RLNY sale 71 March 12, 1991
From the Thomas J Alexander Papers in the APRL
Alexander listed as 1/19/51 to someone named Humbold
While the name actually looks like it contains an m, there are no listings of someone named Humbold in the 1851 edition of McElroy’s Philadelphia city directory. Additionally, there are 34 other covers in the census addressed to William H Newbold, a Philadelphia broker at SE Dock and Walnut. This is likely cover number 35.
