Lot #828 - local issues Boston (Mass.)
circular datestamp ties 1861 1c Blue and 3c Rose (63, 65) to cover to Boston street address, very fine, although attempts by a sender in one city to prepay the carrier fee in a destination city almost always failed, the presence of a street address and the absence of any due marking from the Boston post office suggest that this might be an extremely rare instance of such prepayment for from-the-mails carrier service
