Manitoulin

1848 Folded Letter from Manitowaning to Port Sarnia, postmarked Manitowaning C.W (rimless datestamp) with 6 Sep 1848 manuscript date (with postmaster Alexander , rated 1/4 to Port Sarnia (Sep.12 receiver) through Penetanguishene, London and Toronto (4 backstamps). The long (3 full pages) letter inside is datelined "La Cloche Lake Huron" and reads in part "I have little time to write today but opportunities of forwarding letters are so rare that I may not miss the present one... it is difficult to get letters forwarded - the Gore only makes a trip once a fortnight after this week..." The La Cloche post office opened on October 6, 1846 and closed sometime in 1848, presumably before this letter was written. The Manitowaning post office opened on the same day as La Cloche. A desirable and interesting item from a scarcely populated area, very fine and fresh. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (All Scans)
