SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE. 1906 cover to Cleveland, Ohio sent
unstamped with a SAN FRANCISCO APR 25 1906 cancel on the front. A
Cleveland APR 29 06 arrival c.d.s. is on the back. The earthquake

80% of the City destroyed. From 18th April to 26th April mail could
be sent free of charge if posted within the City. A fine example of
this free post, the cover being sent the day before the free post

devastated the city
