A couple of covers from Green Valley, Ill. I didn't find much history on Green Valley, but in this article there is mentioned a published history "Quasquicentennial: Green Valley, Illinois,
1872-1997." The manuscript canceled cover is dated a year earlier. Love the way the stamp is tied to the cover, by a perf tip!

I wonder what Mr Codington used to open this letter with, looks like it was bitten off!
