In the October 2007 Penny Post Clifford J. Alexander conducted a survey of patriotic covers bearing local post adhesives or handstamps. He identified only 59 such covers, the vast majority of which were carried by Blood's or Boyd's. This cover is the only recorded example of a patriotic cover carried by Hussey's in his census.
