The fire at the Samoan post office on April 1, 1895 had destroyed the stock of stamps, including the Columbian 8 cents stamps, which were used to pay the U.S. registered rate. This is only one of four recorded registered combination covers with the Samoan stamps franked by the sender and the U.S. 8c Columbian stamp appplied by the San Francisco foreign mail agent. In actual fact, these four covers were sent by W.A. Cooper to himself as the U.S. Despatch Agent in San Francisco. The legitimate use of the Samoan stamps and acceptance despite the lack of U.S. postage is confirmed by Postmaster Davis' endorsement on reverse . (Image) (Image2)
