letter from Nassau, NY to Ellwangen Germany
send on dec 12, new york transitstamp on back dec 14 en recieved ellwangen 12 januari
i think the yeardate on backstamp is 1851, could be 1831
i think it states, very badly spelled via liverpool per steamer
i see black 24 crossed out and a black 29
i see a handstamp in red 12 1/2 or 1/4 (or another decimal?)
i see red handstamp" America over Bremen"
i see pinkish/purple inked:
53
8
17 1/2
Y
and red chark 1/5
can anyone make sense to me of all these markings and rates?
does the combination give us a better idea of year?
sorry I am not a "rate and route" person, hoping for help
