Green "N.O. City Post Jan. 13" snowshovel postmark to the Post Office for Outgoing Mail to Indiana. Troy, Ind postmark and manuscript "Mis & Forward" directive. The cover stained around the Troy handstamp.

This cover was carried by the New Orleans semi-official carrier service to the U.S. mails without fee, then forwarded to Troy. A rare outbound carrier use, most known examples are inbound with fee paid.
