National Postal Museum
Letter written to John Marron
J. J. Ayers · January 4, 1848

However, in one breath he says that he has only seen one letter with stamps attached, and in the next says "there has been several stamps received that the cross upon them, the distinguish that they had been in use, were so lightly done that a person could not have discovered it without a close examination . . . ."
