Position 9, full to large margins showing frameline of adjoining stamp above, manuscript "Hartford" precancel, cancelled by pen "X", affixed with red wax wafer on folded cover (with part of content) to New York City, docketed as originating in Hartford on Dec. 10, 1844, pencil "2" for local delivery, file fold clear of stamp, some water stains around stamp, presumably from someone trying to lift it before realizing it was affixed with wax

VERY FINE. A VERY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE HARTFORD MAIL STAMP WITH "HARTFORD" MANUSCRIPT OVERPRINT APPLIED BEFORE MAILING.
