I don't have anything to add information wise but I must say how fascinating posts like this one are! Thank you for this. It has helped me to understand how to track down routes of the foreign mails from the folded letter period a little more.

Wilmington is a small but old Atlantic Ocean port city on Cape Fear near the southern border with South Carolina. Here is a link to a description of the city and its history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilmin...rth_Carolina
