Offered is an interesting 1845-dated wrapper, sent from New York City to London via Boston Steamer - it departed NYC on he 1st of March, arriving on February 28th. This piece remains most tidy, and bears red ‘NY PAID’ and ‘PAID’ outgoing stamps, as well as blue & black manuscript rates, and finally a red London receiving mark on the reverse. A fascinating piece of transatlantic mail, as well as maritime history.
