Notes
One of the most outstanding uses of this, is seen in Fig 129. This 5c stamp, position 3 is manuscript cancelled. Next to it is a 3c US City Despatch carrier stamp (6LB5) also with a manuscript cancel that is different. Both are tied by the New York 13 Nov 5 cts (1845) postmark. There is a New York PAID cancel to the left of the stamps. The letter is addressed to a Miss Marianne Pitcalm, Kamper, Holland. Three is a notation in manuscript per Hibernia crossed out and per Boston Steamer to Liverpool 15 Nov 1845 added. It was last sold in a Robert Kaufmann auction for $8000. Although this is a cover front that has been expertly re-backed, it is unquestionably one of the finest uses of a 9X1. It is also believed unique.
