One of my favorite covers with a Peterborough postmark is this one addressed to Sandford Fleming Esq. The cover bears a Peterboro C.W. type B2 broken circle with an AP 30 1856 date. The cover is back stamped the very same day with a Cobourg U.C. type B2S broken circle and a curious Toronto C.W. CDS dated May 1 and no year.
The hand stamped 3-pence rate is in black ink, denoting this cover was sent postage due. The 3-pence rate pays for domestic delivery (within the Province of Canada) for letters up to 1/2oz.
