Letter from Revd. Haydock Apr 6, 1850 (Quaker dated)
CDS, at first glace, appears to read APL 16. However, there is some significant doubling on the right side in the outer circle above the Y, the 'RK' in York, the L, and the second digit, which appears to be completely connected on both sides to the lower loop. This lower portion is the same height as the 1. I believe this is a 0 and the cancel has a 2nd Kiss print on the right.
The 1850 edition of McElroy’s Philadelphia Directory lists Rodman Wharton (1820-1854) as a merchant at 110 South Front Street. Rodman died of cholera while staying at what is now known as the Wharton – Fitler House in Riverton, NJ. His wife, Susanna Dillwyn Parrish was sister to two brothers who were among the founders of Riverton in 1851.
