VERY FINE. A SPECTACULAR INDEPENDENT MAIL COVER, SHOWING CONJUNCTIVE SERVICE BETWEEN POMEROY'S LETTER EXPRESS AND WELLS' LETTER EXPRESS. THIS IS THE FIRST EAST-TO-WEST POMEROY/WELLS USAGE WE HAVE SEEN.

This cover is being offered by The Western Reserve Historical Society. This is probably the first time the cover has been available in the market.
