I have eight Feb 7 postmarks but feel that I need to show a ninth (two months early) as a result of the 1st cover. Pure conjecture on my part.  Eureka, (an indication of unrest, dark history)  Eureka to Sacramento, forwarded back to Eureka. This cover is two months early for this thread, but is relevant.  Back to Feb. 7th. Mendocino,  Eureka, Humboldt Bay, Wells Fargo, I think the first two covers have some bearing on the addressee of this next cover. Even though it's 15 years later, and the Redcaps have been somewhat settled on the Hoopa Reservation.  Fields Landing,  Northwestern,  Irmulco,  Gualala,  and Rohnerville.  Edit routing Apr 14 cover. |

February 10 1968 Bailey's Bay, Bermuda to Smithtown, NY, USABAILEY'S BAY 10FEB68A BERMUDA Featured on this letter are the four-penny and eight-penny of the beautiful Bermuda series showing buildings on the island. The envelope probably contained either extra sheets of writing or photographs, hence the need for a shillings worth of postage instead of just eight pence. The series was issued in 1962 and the SW.C catalogue numbers are 168 & 171. 1909 Vavau, Tonga to Norwich, EnglandVAVAU O9 FE 10 TONGA The Tonga stamps shown on this mailing were first issued in 1897 and the SW.C catalogue numbers are 38 (half-penny) and 41 (two-penny). |

Busy day with nine postmarks to post.  Pomo,  Mendocino,  Eureka & Scotia RPO,  Little River,  Trinidad,  Northspur,  Covelo, these last three are a bit more officious.  Gualala, the address makes me wonder if this was really Post Office business.  Alameda to Eureka,  |

Six for today. Arcata, a fancy cancel on a stained cover, some kind of oil, as it is translucent. Loggers.   Albion, Feb is all the date we get here. Gotta go somewhere.   Garberville, about 25 years later,  Noyo, the only Valentine card.   Two Rivers,  Clever, I reversed day with year in my Cover by Decade list. And it's a Christmas card!   and Elk.  |
