Round 7-bar cancel on Scott #65 rose, black Co(nco)rd, N.H. c.d.s., Mar. 31, 1863. To J. Tenny, Jr., Boscowen, N.H. The only Tenny serving the state was Simon A., of 2nd N.H. Heavy Artillery. Stamp extending beyond edge of cover, with feathering of right perfs and loss of design fragment at about 4 o'clock. In pencil on verso, "Scott 1929, 18.00 / L(aurence) 1369," "Ex-Walcott" (sic?). Part of flap lacking, probably when originally opened; old paper strip reinforcement, evidently predating 1929, handling creases, light toning, else good plus and vividly colorful.
