"City Dispatch Aug. 10". Manuscript local delivery postmark probably applied by Kimball (Hale's agent in Boston) and manuscript "6-1/4" re-rating in the same hand over red Collect box handstamp (Ty. C4) on Aug. 10, 1844 folded letter from Boston to Lockport N.Y., slight wear along file fold, Very Fine, this manuscript marking has an odd non-contemporary look and the usage is perplexing, but it was considered genuine by Calvet M. Hahn (Sale 909, lot 4543) and by Mr. Gutman
