"Above is shown a proclaimation of 1847 and envelope discovered recently in New York by a collector of early unstamped postal letters, of which even the government had not previously had a copy. The document was issued by Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott, and it bears the name of an officer believed to have been stationed at Jefferson Barracks."
