CDS Jan 27 (1846) 1 O’Clock
David Feldman sale 55 December 2005 lot 21209 notes contents docketed Jan 20, 1849
Letter addressed to Paul Spofford, a merchant at 149 Water Street (1845 Doggett’s)
It seems unlikely that the sender would wait a week before mailing this cover and then sending it via the Despatch Post. A more likely scenario is that the letter was written Jan 26, 1846 and that the auction lot description is incorrect.
