6081 imageIllustrated "Miner on Mule" Corner Card on Local Cover to San Francisco
Originally Enclosed an Invitation from Pilsbury "Chips" Hodgkins to Celebrate His 25th Anniversary as an Expressman

In May 1876, Henry Wells encouraged Pilsbury "Chips" Hodgkins to host a reception to commemorate his 25 years as an expressman. In response, Chips had invitations specially printed featuring four illustrations, each depicting a different mode of transportation he used throughout his career. This cover is one of the envelopes, carried outside of the mails, that once carried an invitation While the image of a miner on a mule was commonly associated with Gold Rush-era mining scenes, in this context, it symbolized Chips himself on his early routes, delivering mail through rugged terrain on his white mule. Enclosure not included.
