"New-York Aug. 16" (1848) circular datestamp on blue folded letter
datelined August 15, 1848, written by Jacob de Cordova to the
county clerk at Montgomery Tex., accompanying certificate notes a
horizontal crease in top margin of top stamp, but this is so slight
and negligible, it does not merit mention in our opinionEXTREMELY
FINE. VERY RARE USE OF THE 1847 ISSUE TO PAY POSTAGE FROM THE EAST
TO TEXAS—THE LETTER WAS WRITTEN BY A PROMINENT FIGURE IN TEXAS
HISTORY.The USPCS census lists 18 confirmed 1847 Issue covers
addressed to Texas post offices, including 10 with 5c stamps and 8
with 10c stamps. 5 of the 5c covers and all 8 of the 10c covers
originated in eastern post offices or New Orleans—the remaining 5
covers (with 5c stamps) originated in Texas. This folded letter
from New York City is prepaid for the 10c over-300 miles rate.The
letter writer, Jacob Raphael de Cordova, was born in Jamaica, on
June 6, 1808. De Cordova settled in Texas in 1839 and lived in
Galveston and later Houston, where he was elected a state
representative to the Second Texas Legislature in 1847. Through
scrip and direct purchases De Cordova acquired large amounts of
land to sell to settlers—at one point he had 1,000,000 acres in
scrip or title. To attract settlers to Texas, he made speeches
about Texas in New York, Philadelphia and other cities, and to the
cotton-spinners association in Manchester. His widely read lectures
were published on both sides of the Atlantic. His land agency,
which he owned with his half-brother Phineas, became one of the
largest such agencies in the Southwest. De Cordova and Robert
Creuzbaur compiled the Map of the State of Texas, first published
in 1849, which was the basis for much subsequent Texas cartography
