auldstampguy TimNLCollector/Webmaster 05 Oct 2014 03:39:27pm Auctions - Approvals	This is an interest cover from Hastings MN to Aurora NY that has what seems to be a postage due stamp for 7 cents. Am I reading this correctly? Can anyone tell me what the correct postage should have been from Hastings MN to Aurora NY in 1873? I'm fairly sure that this was cancelled in 1873 (or perhaps 1874) because Miss Florence LeDuc only attended Wells College in 1873 and 1874. She was called home in 1874 due financial problems that her father had. Regards ... Tim. Login to Like this post mncancels.org
