AN EXTREMELY RARE DIPLOMATIC MAIL POUCH COVER FROM THE CONSUL GENERAL IN PARIS DURING THE SIEGE OF PARIS FROM THE SECOND TRIP.

This cover was sent by Consul General John Meredith Read, Jr. to his father, Hon. Judge John M. Read, who was then a Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice in Philadelphia. The cover is addressed via the State Department in Washington D.C. where it was presumably taken from the pouch and placed in an outer envelope and sent to his father. A diary kept by Consul General John Meredith Read, Jr. during and after the Siege of Paris notes the sending of this cover on Sunday October 9th…"After General Burnside left me at 3 P.M. to day, I walked to my bureau and wrote some dispatches."

This is one of seven known covers carried out of the Siege of Paris in a U.S. Diplomatic Mail Pouch by General Ambrose Burnside and Col. Paul Sieman Forbes on October 10, 1870. These cover arrived in London October 23, 1879 where they received the red oval marking of "B.F. Stevens, U.S. Despatch Agent, London". Earlier these two men had carried out five known covers on their first trip out of Paris, which arrived in London October 6, 1870. One of these two covers available to collectors from the first pouch sold in 1995 for £13,500.

Ernst M. Cohn, in "Ordinary Mail by Diplomatic Means During The Siege of Paris 1870-1871" records these covers and notes that only three from the second trip are available to collectors, the other four being in archives including the Library of Congress and the Bundesarch. (Image1) (Image2)

A GORGEOUS BALLON MONTÉ COVER TO THIS TINY CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH TOWN.

Mokelumne Hill was one of the richest gold mining towns in California. Founded in 1848 by a group of Oregonians, the placers were so rich that the miners risked starvation rather than head to Stockton to replenish their supplies (one finally did and made it rich by becoming a merchant). Soon after, gold was discovered in the nearby hills, so much so that miners were restricted to claims of 16 square feet (1.5 m2), and yet many of those claims were reported to have paid up to $20,000. By 1850 the town was one of the largest in the area, with its population reaching as high as 15,000 with people of all nationalities: Americans, Frenchmen, Germans, Spaniards, Chileans, Mexicans, Chinese, and others. Besides racial tensions, the easy gold attracted criminal elements, and the town gained a reputation as one of the bawdiest in the area. By the 1860s the gold started to run out and the town's population and importance diminished. (Image1)
