(Nebraska) Fort Kearny, May 23 [1854], Paid 3. All in manuscript, on a very late pre-territorial cover to Maine; the Territory of Nebraska came into existence just one week later, on May 30, 1854, so this would have been the last pre-territorial mail dispatch from Fort Kearny, F.-V.F. and scarce. Estimate $300 - 400.
Realized: $425
