Official Imprints and Usage
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1153 c Image2c Black (73). Tied by well-struck Checkerboard fancy cancel and used as forwarding postage on cover with Edwin M. Stanton free frank as Secretary of War, "Washington D.C. Free Apr. 25" circular datestamp, addressed to Edwards Pierrepont in New York, forwarded just a few doors away from 108 to 103 Fifth Avenue, "New-York City 27 Apr." duplex datestamp, with original enclosure on War Department letterhead dated April 25, 1867, contents are secretarial and discuss visit by Mrs. Pierrepont but signed by Stanton

VERY FINE. A RARE USE OF THE BLACK JACK STAMP ON A COVER ORIGINALLY SENT FREE FROM SECRETARY OF WAR STANTON TO WELL-KNOWN JURIST EDWARDS PIERREPONT. A REMARKABLE USE.

In April 1867, Pierrepont was elected a member of the judicial committee of the New York constitutional convention. A short time later, on June 10, he started conducting the case for the government against John Surratt, who was indicted as an accomplice in Lincoln's assassination. The use of postage to forward this letter just a few doors away, to such a prominent figure as Pierrepont, is truly remarkable.
