folded letter to Philadelphia, datelined "Allentown Oct 8 1773", endorsed "P stage", very fine
This folded letter was carried by the Allentown stage from Allentown to either Burlington or Bordentown, where the letter was given over to one of two stage lines. The Burlington Stage Line and the Bordenton & New York Stage Line competed at this time over the same route. It is not be possible to tell which of these stage lines carried this letter because of the absence of some notation on the cover or within the folded letter.
