Boundary Survey, El Paso, Texas, Via San Antonio”. Clearly written
address in the hand of former U.S. Boundary Commissioner John R.
Bartlett on buff cover with 3c Dull Red, Ty. II (11A), small
margins to slightly in, tied by “Providence R.I. Apr. 16” (1855)
circular datestamp, slight edgewearVERY FINE. THE ONLY RECORDED
COVER TO THE EMORY MEXICO-U.S. BOUNDARY RESURVEY CAMP. A REMARKABLE
AND HISTORIC POSTAL ARTIFACT OF THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST.The United
States and Mexican Boundary Survey from 1848 to 1855 mapped the
border between the two countries, as defined in the Treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo. After a dispute over the boundary was resolved
by the 1854 Gadsden Purchase, the survey continued in 1855 under
William H. Emory, the U.S. Commissioner and Chief Surveyor. The
results were published in the Report on the United States and
Mexican Boundary Survey, Made Under the Direction of the Secretary
of the Interior by William H. Emory (1857-1859). The commissioners
met at El Paso at the end of 1854 and set the eastern boundary
monument on January 31, 1855. By May 1855 the survey set the
western boundary on the Colorado River. A monument set in Arizona
was named by 1st Lieutenant Frank Wheaton, to whom this cover is
addressed. The monument was placed between two walnut trees— "Los
Dos Nogales" —and the name was later shortened to Nogales (in
Arizona and Mexico). The cover’s sender, John R. Bartlett, was the
civilian boundary commissioner when the dispute arose in 1852—he
was dismissed and in 1853 returned to his home in Providence, Rhode
Island.Ex Birkinbine

through 1780s. Brown was a leader in the Sons of Liberty and was
one of the instigators of the burning of the Gaspee in 1772. Along
with the Boston Tea Party, this was one of the first violent acts
of defiance to the authority of the British Crown which eventually
led up to the American Revolution. In 1775, during the American
Revolution, John Brown sold the United States Navy its first ship,
the "USS Providence". He was elected to the U.S. House of
Representatives in 1798 and served until 1801)
