SUMMARY:The Special Arrangement Between the U.S. and Liverpool 1843-1848 - Mark Schwartz
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \nMark Schwartz will discuss the unusual agreement to get mail faster to places south of Boston. \nWhen Cunard ships began sailing in 1840\, the volume of letters to Boston increased dramatically. Current postal regulations at the time required that each letter receive a “SHIP” stamp and a rate at the Boston Post Office. As a result of the huge volume (perhaps 20\,000+ letters)\, New York merchants were receiving their letters late and urged the postmaster general to find a way to speed things up. \nEfforts to address the situation directly with the head of the British post office were unsuccessful. Eventually\, the Liverpool postmaster agreed to separate letters going south of Boston into a separate bag. That bag\, instead of going to the Boston Post Office for processing\, was sent directly to the train bound for New York. \nThis is the story of how that “Special Arrangement” was reached and how to identify letters directly affected. \nAbout Mark\n\nBoards: American Philatelic Society; U.S. Philatelic Classics Society; Philatelic Foundation; American Assoc. of Philatelic Exhibitors; Institute of Analytical Philately; CANEJ; Boston 2026; CANEJ\nMember: Carrier & Locals Society; U.S. Classics Society; New York Collectors Club; Chicago Collectors Club; Greater Phil.
