This is an original envelope that once contained a now-gone letter that was addressed (it is the real deal--NOT a reproduction) and was then mailed through the United States Postal Service.  You are purchasing only the postal portion; I do not have the letter.

ONE of the reasons it is collectible is because of the fact that  the local postmaster applied postal markings considered appropriate for the letter's journey.  In addition to being collectable becasue of the content of the letter, or the writer, or the addressee, it is a collectable item of postal history because of the rates, markings and usage.

July 23, 1846 American Institute of The City of New York 19th Annual Fair three page circular for the upcoming fair to be held at Niblo's Gardens.

Lengthy discussion of the exhibits, the steam engine, fireworks, cattle, gardners, silk culturist--on and on.

Postal wise, this is an unsealed circular with a red "NE-YORK JUL 30" circular datestamp, a printed "American Institute Circular" endorsment and a manuscript "2."

Addressed "Messers E & T. Fairbanks, St. Johsnbury, Vermont."

Absolutely marvelous and pristine.
