Notes
Columbian Issue Collateral Items.
A specially printed Postage Stamp Agency Invoice, for the shipment of $160 in Columbian Issue stamps. This invoice No. 249 accompanied a shipment of these stamps to the Post Office at Graham, NC.
This Invoice was issued under the authority of Wesley R. Davis, Stamp Agent, who assumed this office July 24, 1893, replacing Thomas A. H. Hay. For an example of a similar invoice from Hay's period in office, see Census ID 999, Set ID C3.
While no detailed list of the enclosed stamps was present, this could easily included 10 copies of each of the Dollar Value stamps (for a total of $150) plus a larger quantity of each of the lower denominations.
