#210, fine, faults, canceled GRAHAM TX (Young County,
1873-), JUL 4, 1887 on intact cover to Mountain Home, TX, Bell
County. (This PO existed in Bell County only 1870-71,
reestablished in Kerr County in 1879.) Cover traveled to El
Paso (JUL 5 back stamp) and from there to St. Louis, MO, where it
received a magenta JUL 12 INQUIRY DIVISION postmark (reverse) and
matching "NO SUCH OFFICE IN STATE NAMED/2" (and blue crayon 2)
on front. Cover then sent to the Dead Letter Office in
Washington, DC (JUL 15 receiving postmark and numeral 6 ellipse
killer on front, matching DLO triangle on back).
Apparently the DLO office identified the correct address (Holland
applied in red ink) and applied on front a purple triangular
DEFICIENCY IN ADDRESS SUPPLIED AT D.L.O. hand stamp. It
also applied Post Office Department, Dead-Letter Office
forwarding label on reverse (scarce Scott OXA2, $300 in 2011
catalog). The cover was reforwarded to
HOLLAND, TX (Bell County) where the label received a JUL 18 Holland
postmark. An absolutely wonderful example of the Post
Office Department's efforts to correctly forward mail, and a great
Texas postal history item. |
