circa 1840 stampless folded letter from Mt. Sterling IL to Ottawa. Manuscript postmark, 18 3/4 rate; interesting endorsement "post master will please forward" which is typically interpreted as a request for carrier delivery. Some creasing at edges, with unpleasant edge tear at left. Undated and without content, but pre-1845 given the rate.
