ONE OF ONLY THREE RECORDED COVERS CARRIED BY THE SHORT-LIVED WEST INDIES LINE.

The announcement of the National Intelligencer, December 29, 1855: "Important Mail Communication with St. Johns, Porto Rico, St. Thomas, La Guayra, and Puerto Cabello. A semi-monthly line of steamships, commencing with the "Tennessee," on or about the 8th of January next, will run between New York and Puerto Cabello, South America, touching at St. Johns, Porto Rico, St. Thomas, and La Guayra. Mails for these points will be regularly made up at the New York Post Office and dispatched by this line, the United States postage charge being ten cents the single rate, prepayment required." The S de Agreda, Jove & Co's West Indies line ran the "Tennessee" ran only six round-voyages before she was transferred to the New York and Nicaragua route in the fall of 1856, probably because this route was more lucrative to the owners. She first sailed for Nicaragua about September 12, 1856.
