Lot 807

folded letter dated December 28, 1831 addressed to Georgetown, South Carolina, manuscript "Way 11" (10c postage due plus 1c way fee), endorsed "Pr Wilton Stage", fine, this cover was most likely given to a stage driver near the Willtown Plantation along the stage route (with the endorsement "Wilton" being a phonetic misspelling), this origination would correctly place the cover within 30-80 miles of Georgetown indicative of the 10c due rate
