Notes
Chronicle 79
The sequence of backstamps discloses that the March 21, 1848, cover from Fredericksburg, Va., endorsed to go by the Cambria packet, actually went overland. The foreign receiving backstamps show the overland route the letter took, apparently having missed the Cambria's departure in New York. The carelessly written postage due, that is correctly decipherable only by another post office clerk, is 1 shilling 1 1/2 pence, the overland rate from the border.
