ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THIS NYFM CANCEL, A VERY UNUSUAL DOMESTIC USE HANDLED IN THE FOREIGN MAIL DEPARTMENT.
This cover was incorrectly processed through the New York Foreign Mail department, the clerks were apparently confused by the franking that normally prepaid mails to England, but in this case prepaid double the 3¢ domestic letter rate.
