Hale & Co., Letter Carried during Frozen Hudson River Period
Only 11 letters are known with Troy as their destination.
Letter datelined "New York Jan 3 1845", carried by Hale & Co with C-3 Troy forwarding handstamp.
The Hudson River was frozen from December 11 1844 to February 24 1845 and therefore closed to navigation. The Housatonic Railroad to Bridgeport was used to get mail to New York during this period.
