A very interesting stampless folded letter:
Lot 602 1845 Red River Settlement Folded Stampless Letter, written at Beaver Creek (post office did not open there until 1881) to Reverend Smithurst at “Indian Settlement”. The letter is most descriptive as to how natives were treated and viewed at the time. This lot also includes an accounting from the Hudson Bay Post at York Factory (signed by Chief Factor?) for supplies Smithurst purchased at Fort Ellis, indicating his mission was near Fort Ellis. A very scarce duo and very fine. Estimate C$400.
