13c Blue Green (339). Tied by oval registry cancel with purple "Utica N.Y. Registered Sep. 15, 1909" double-circle datestamp on European-size dark green cover to "Jerusalem (Palestine)", New York registry label, addressed to the Chief Rabbi, Central Committee Knesseth, New York registry backstamps and Jerusalem arrival backstamp, expertly repaired along right edge and sealed tear at center, Very Fine and rare use in terms of both the destination at this point in time and the solo use of the 13c Scott 339 -- the 8c registry fee was raised to 10c two months after this was sent so a solo use of the 13c stamp (8c registry + 5c UPU) was appropriate for only a short period
