 "Bully!" (Rutland, VT), bold, complete strike in blue ties
1861 3c, matching double circle "Rutland VT May 26 1863" cds alongside, possible hints as to the meaning may be found in Vermont newspapers of 1863 which include references such as «Bully for the Conscription Act» and a Rutland County Herald of

cover). Jarrett speculated that the marking was probably used only for a day or two as other covers from the correspondence, including one dated the next day, bear standard cancels. (Image 1)
