This is one of three recorded usages of the 5¢ issue from Lansingburgh, N.Y. (with only one 10¢ usage known) and the only example bearing this unusual manuscript cancel. This may have been a provisional usage to uprate
the cover to 10 cents for a double rate to Philadelphia due to a possible shortage of 10¢ adhesives. The Alexander book records 1200 5¢ adhesives being sent to Lansingburgh and only 100 10¢ adhesives. (Image1)
