1853 Old Church Virginia - James A. Harwood ltr re: Western Lunatic Asylum draft

Description: Free Domestic Shipping. 1853 "OLD CHURCH Va. DEC 24" circular datestamp with a "PAID 3" in a circle on a 1-page letter from James A. Harwood, D. C. to Staunton regarding collecting a bank draft drawn for the Western Lunatic Asylum in Staunton. As a bonus, this letter is one-sided thin ruled (blue) paper. This is an original folded "stampless" letter with a Virginia State postal marking.The letter IS present. You are purchasing BOTH the letter and the postal markings. The letter has not been separated--it's still here, and pictured. 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--namely: The originating town name and a rate. 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 the collector.ANOTHER is the writer, the content and the addressee.
