image 1874 Fort Garry Manitoba Stampless Cover, mailed from Fort Garry on JAN.19.1874 to Osakis Minnesota, without a receiver but docketed received on JAN.29. At this time the rate to the United States was 6c if prepaid, and this cover has a pencil "(5)" on front, possibly to denote cash [under]payment. A rare and early cover in the infancy of the province, very few stampless covers are known out of Manitoba after the province joined Confederation and before stamp pre-payment was required in 1875. Very fine and accompanied by an article on Fort Garry published in BNA Topics by Dr. Murray Campbell. Ex. Gray Scrimgeour. (Image)

image 1868 Rupert's Land Cover with United States Stamp, franked with a 3c rose Washington stamp (grilled, issued from 1867 to 1870) and in use on mail from Red River until the fall of 1870. The stamp was applied at Fort Garry, and the letter carried by the territorial courier to Pembina, Dakota, where it was datestamped NOV.23 (1868). The address on the envelope is in the handwriting of Archbishop Robert Machray, second Bishop of Rupert's Land, whose seal is embossed on the back flap. Archbishop Machray had made a trip to Canada and to the United States in the summer of 1868. The Bishop of Kentucky (to whom this letter is addressed) was his host in New York City. A very rare usage of United States postage on Canadian mail. (Image)

image Sault Ste Marie, Michigan Possible Manitoba Route Cover, postmarked "SAUT DE STE. MARIE" c.d.s. dated MAR.2, with "PAID" and "10" in circle and addressed to Utica, New York. Before a post office was opened at Sault Ste Marie C.W. (November 6, 1846), much mail was sent to and from the settlement through the more accessible US town of Saut Ste Marie Michigan. In addition, mail from Michipicoten C.W. and the Red River Settlement was put into the mail stream there (see the 1846 examples in the De Volpi fur trade collection). This contemporary envelope entered the posts in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan but it's origin is unknown, as is it's year of mailing. An interesting cover. (Image)

image 1850 Matawagamingue Ontario Trading Post H.B.C. Interesting Stampless Folded Letter, written by Colin Campbell (of the Hudson's Bay Co.) in March, 1850 and addressed to James Keith, in Aberdeen, Scotland (North Britain). Carried by canoe in the summer of 1850 to Fort William (Canada East, AUG.1.1850 datestamp in red), rated "1/2" then postmarked at Pembroke, Bytown and Montréal, finally arrived in Aberdeen on SEP.3.1851 (all backstamps). Keith had retired from a senior position with the company in 1845, and the contents of the letter include the opinion that H.B. Co. governor Sir George Simpson had invested the dividends of his employees in an unwise fashion. it also goes on with "I have nothing favourable to say for the fur trade here this year. Through the great suffering of the Indians by starvation, they could not exert themselves in hunting furs and I fear our returns will be short of my average. Rabbits, almost the only dependence the Indians have for food, have disappeared almost entirely.". A most interesting letter, rare and very fine. Ex. Gray Scrimgeour. (Image)
