St. Augustine, British Florida to British Occupied New York, 1776, American Blockade Run via British Packet. Folded letter datelined "St. Augustine 30 July 1776" to New York, receipt docketing of July 2, 1777, bold "1N" packet rate, light file fold and minor soiling, Very Fine and scarce, during the transit of this cover the British drove Washington out of New York City and occupied the city (until 1783), by the time this cover reached New York nearly a year after it was mailed, the American Privateer blockade of British occupied New York was in operation, this is a wonderful illustration of the difficulty of sending mail during the Revolutionary War
