Notes
Ashbrook Bound Book 2, page 76 posted on the USPCS website. Ashbrook noted that this was originally a stampless cover and had a stamp added later. The 7 cts in circle cancellation was applied in Troy NY and indicated the 2 cent Steamboat charge in addition to the 5 cent overland charge to Schenectady.
Cover initialed H.W.C. which may indicate Warren Howard Colson, a famed stamp dealer and expertiser, although he usually initialed W. H. C.
PF 21955 #1, stamp did not originate on this cover
Alexander listed as xx/xx/xx
Letter to Sophia Parker (Butterfield) Holland (1824-1887), wife of Alexander Holland (1817-1885)
