Across the face of the cover, a hand stamp has twice been diagonally applied, reading “Samples By J.C. Wilson & Co., Montreal”. It would appear this cover, addressed to T.T. Maloney, Carter Rice & Co., Boston, Mass., was intended to promote the purchase of patriotic envelopes. It was mailed at the 3rd Class Mail rate of 1¢ per 2 ounces reserved for, in this case, possibly advertising sheets, catalogues, prices current and commercial papers.
