I'm concerned about the cancellation on top cover. The stamp on cover is a Scott type # A25 that were 1st issue 1861. It appears to me that cancel is dated 1856. The 2nd cover dated 1866, could be a 64, 64a, 64b, 65 or even a 65e. I not a color expert!

Warrehouse-- nice catch on the 1856 cancel. In no way can it be genuine-- there's also a faint other circular cancel-- wonder if it was cleaned at some point in the past...
Also the Providence cover isn't pink-- must be a 65something....thanks, Ray
