The Providence clerk struck a double-circle Providence R.I. SEP 17-dated CDS (with single bar) on the reverse, and crossed out the “Not Called For” in black pencil (the policy at the Prov. P.O. at that time). No contents. Great Civil War era survivor - grab this today!! _____________________ See scans & good luck!!
