 1854 Stampless envelope (without contents) sent from Mosul with manuscript endorsement "STEAMER/MOSUL" at lower left and "BOSTON / 18 APR / 5 cts" arrival postmark. Reverse side manuscript date "April 22nd `54". Written by the
U.S missionary Dwight. W. Marsh (1823-1896) stationed in Mosul (1850 - 1860) to his sister Clarissa Dwight Marsh. The cover was carried by river steamer along the Tigris after which it was taken per dromedary service to Beirut via Damascus through
the Syrian desert (postal route opened by the British in 1843 between Beirut and Bagdhad). This is the earliest recorded transatlantic mail cover from Iraq of which only two are known (the other one franked with a U.S stamp offered in the next

 U.S. 1851 3¢ Washington imperforate (closed vertical tear) tied by "New York Jan (20)" datestamp on 3 page entire letter from Mosul, Iraq, dated Nov. 23rd 1856 to ST. LOUIS, U.S.A. Lower left with ms "STEAMER / D.W MARSH,
MOSUL". The cover was taken to Baghdad per steamer along the Tigris and then carried by British dromedary service through the Syrian desert to Beirut where it was put on board a packet (postal route opened by the British in 1843 between Beirut and
Bagdad). The letter travelled nearly 3 months till its final destination, St. Louis U.S. Written by the missionary Dwight Whitney Marsh who was posted at Mosul from 1850 to 1860. During his stay in Mosul, Marsh acquired two Assyrian reliefs from
Nimrud for his alma mater. The reliefs were the first of their kind to arrive in the U.S. In this letter the author makes reference to the Anglo-Persian war (Nov. 1 1856 - Apr. 4 1857) "News from Persia and India is warlike but Persia will probably
yield and England be saved the cost of another war - Persia ought to be humbled, she has treated England haughtily". He concludes the letter by saying "I hope slavery will not prevail tomorrow" in reference to the U.S presidential elections which
took place on the 4th Nov (18th quadrennial presidential election), where Democrat James Buchanan defeated Republican nominee John C. Frémont. This amazing 1856 cover represents the earliest use of a postage stamp in Iraq and the only known cover to
bear a US stamp. one of the major items of Iraq postal history.(Image 1)
