Moscow 1909 to Watertown, MN
Moscow 1909 to Watertown, MN

These are the earliest flag cancels I have for Moscow. Delano is a town 10 miles from  Watertown. It took three days for this letter to travel to Minnesota.

Melrose was a town in Nez Perce County just south of Peck. The postmark from Melose is for Apr 14

Postmarks from Moscow, Idaho, Latah County

The covers shown on this page are from Moscow, Idaho, the county seat for Latah County and the University of Idaho. The first two images are more or less practice while the remainder of images are in an image gallery. All of the images on this page can be enlarged just by clicking on them

This card went from Pullman, WA, to Melrose, ID in one day. The Pullman CDS gives the time as 8:30 PM while Melrose has no time stamp. The 8:30 pm timestamp is the latest that I have. It seems like the postal workers were working late but the card did arrive by the next day.
