Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries sale 1196 lot 1095 realized 425 repeats the incorrect Sep 3 date.
Cherrystone sale Aug 2019 lot 1012 realized 675 dates this cover as SEP 3
Daniel F. Kelleher sale 750 lot 2087 realized 750
Daniel F. Kelleher sale 791 lot 418 unsold
CDS date is SEP 8. The NYC 3 has a horizontal bar on top..
Ross W. Wood and H A Grant were grocers at 90 Front Street in NYC (1849 Doggett’s)
Reverse docket records the letter was received Sept 12 and answered Sept 19th.
It's surprising that many auctioneers thought the letter took an entire week to travel from New York to Queenstown. A two day trip, even back in the mid 19th century, is much more reasonable.
