Letter
Cave Johnson, American, 1845 - 1849 · August 15, 1848
Clinton submits a stamped cover for an opinion as to whether the stamp is a counterfeit or whether an attempt has been made to remove a prior cancel and use it again. "I suspect that the stamp is genuine," he says, "that it has been once ink cancelled, and that the chemical process resorted to, to remove the Cancellation has produced its changed color & appearance."
