#158, fine, tied by N. YORK STEAMSHIP JUN 13
postmark on cover to Troy NY, blue "7 c" crayon and "Due 7"
for ship letter charge for delivery beyond port of entry, small
reduction at right. The original letter datelined May 25 1875,
Port au Prince Haiti, from an officer of the USS Shawmut
accompanies. (The Shawmut saw service as a gunboat in the North
Atlantic Blockading Squadron, and served along the Atlantic seaboard
until decommissioning in 1877.) The letter (pp.
1-4, pp. 2-3,
transcription) contains a
fascinating account of the officer's time in Haiti, where they
had been temporarily sent "for protection of American citizens" on
the ship's eventual Honduras destination. The account includes
his visit to the presidential "palace" to meet the Haitian
president, and his general views about Haiti as a "dreadful place".
A terrific historical item. |

"DROP" rate designation used as killer with PORT CARBON PA. 8

unlisted in major references and the only I have ever encountered,
obviously rare. |

Two VF
intact covers from FLORENCE,
IOWA (DPO

Both covers bear the same magenta

bears a separate strike of a black
star in circle killer.
Stamps on both covers (#158) are fine and sound. A
pretty pair of Iowa covers. |
