It also has a red-ink "Paid" handstamp at top center, and a handwritten "Paid" marking at lower left, again pertaining to the delivery fee having been paid when the letter was sent. The letter is marked as being written in Boston and is dated January, 1851, and it is machine-printed in fine script.
