Notes
Item #715 - Scott #1 - Margins to in at bottom. Tied by red grid cancel of New York on self-addressed printed envelope of the Otsego County Bank, Cooperstown, New-York. Matching cds. From the placement of the stamp at top left instead of the usual placement at top right, I wonder if this was actually not only the possible first use of a printed self-addressed envelope but one that was prepaid $490.00 (Alan Cohen)
