Very early 1861 per docket on back! This mainly California express company is delivering a letter from Virginia to Carson City in Nevada. Red oval Virginia City post mark. Sent to G Davis in Cason City. Yellow cover with black frank and red postmark is colorful. Ramage's (name on cover) brother had an item recently sold in the SS Central American auction. We know this as it a gold buckle that identified him was on the unfortunate ship. The ship went down in 1858 and artifacts have only recently appeared for sale! VERY HISTORIC
