Singles used on six different colored envelopes, each addressed to Miss Angie Patterson in Prattsville N.Y., cancelled or tied by grids with Meriden Conn. double-circle datestamps, two with clear 1865 dates, bright and pristineVERY FINE. AN EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL MATCHED SET OF LADY'S COLORED STATIONERY ENVELOPES FRANKED WITH SINGLES OF THE 2-CENT BLACK JACK.
These may have contained invitations or announcements without handwriting (eligible for the 2c circular rate), but it was against regulations to seal such covers. The postmaster of Meriden possibly was as impressed with their beauty as we are, and let them go through.
