#UX9, VF, mailed from LEE, MA, Savings Bank, MAY 5,
1888, to New York City, received MAY 7. There the address was
scratched out with the word "Refused" penciled at bottom left.
The Post Office then applied over the original address a RETURNED
TO WRITER label, this tied by MAY 8 postmark. Very unusual
treatment for a postal card. This should have been sent to the
Dead Letter Office but instead was considered important enough
to return to the mailing bank. (The card reads, "Where is the
property you mention located?") |
