Cat No: 63, 65
"Rockville Md. Oct 23",, circular datestamp ties 1861 1c Blue and 3c Rose (63, 65) to cover to Boston street address, very fine, although attempts by a sender in one city to prepay the carrier fee in a destination city almost always failed, the presence of a street address and the absence of any due marking from the Boston post office suggest that this might be an extremely rare instance of such prepayment for from-the-mails carrier service According to the August 1862 U.S. Mail & Post Office Assistant: There is a somewhat prevalent impression that the affixing of a penny stamp to an otherwise prepaid letter, designed to be forwarded by mail, will pay the carrier's fee when it arrives at the place of destination, and many letters, thus prepaid, are received at New York and other offices employing carriers. The impression is entirely erroneous. When a mail letter is deposited in a U.S. lamp-post box or other receptacle provide by Government, to be carried from thence to the post office, the extra penny stamp is then requisite to pay the carrier's fee for delivering to the office. In all other cases, any prepayment of a penny beyond the regular rate, is simply money thrown away. (Image)
