1/17 1857 Morven, Va Amelia County to Valentine & Son, Richmond, Virginia

Description: Free Domestic Shipping. "Morven, Va. Jany 17th/57" 1857 manuscript postmark of this desirable town in Amelia County (population 32 in 1900) on a folded wrapper with at US #11 addressed to "Messers Valentine & Son, Richmond, Va." This is an original postal item, not a reproduction.This item is a "stamped folded wrapper" insomuch as the writer used a sheet of paper to write their letter and then folded it - leaving a space for the address and postal marking - and then sealed it, addressed it and took it to the post office where the postmaster applied a stamp (unless already placed on the letter by the sender) and applied markings appropriate for the letter's journey (principally the cancelling of the stamp and noting the origin of the letter with a town, state and date marking) and gave it to the postrider/post-wagon or stage to send the letter on its way. However, the original letter is gone. You are buying ONLY the postal portion. I do not have the original letter.ONE of the reasons it is collectible is because of the fact that the local postmaster applied postal markings considered appropriate for the journey--namely: The originating town name and a cancel. In addition to being collectible because the addressee or the town from which it was sent, it is a collectable item of "postal history" because of the rates, markings usage, the addressee or something that might appeal to a collector.
