franked with 1855 3 c. dull red type I (Scott 11), tied by PAID handstamp in circle and "BOSTON NOV 3 1858" cds in red. A cover of great interest. Note: Among other things, the text describes in detail the appearance and astronomical observation of

the most brilliant comet that appeared in the 19th century. Provenance: Mayflower collection, David Feldman sale (Oct. 1983), lot 32624; David Feldman sale (May 2004), lot 30271 (Image 1)
