Connecticut Postal History
Wesson time-on-bottom duplex on 2c Brown entire, cornercard "Return to S.L. Clemens, Hartford, Conn., If not delivered within 5 days.", local city address not in Twain's own hand, very fine and rare, a wonderful piece of postal history from Hartford's most notable resident
This cover is addressed to Linus T. Fenn, a furniture dealer in Hartford who went by "Fenn the Furniture Man" in his advertisements. Given the lavish nature of Twain's Hartford home, one can only image what he might have been ordering.
