Notes
Scott #1, large margins at left and bottom but cut in at top right, tied by red square grid cancel, matching NEW YORK NOV 22 cds on envelope addressed to Professor Maclean in Princeton, NJ
Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries Inc. sale 1109 lot 365 – one of 17 covers.
Alexander listed as 11/23/xx
The CDS has some slight doubling, especially in the O and V, and some staining that makes the second digit in the date hard to read, although it is definitely not a 3. Any of its features seem identical to the 2 on the left but it could also be a zero. Best guess is NOV 22.
Letter addressed to John Maclean (1800-1886), first Professor of Chemistry in America and president of Princeton University (1850-1868), then known as the College of New Jersey.
