Milgram No. 961; Estimate $300 - 400.

This circular marking is actually a route agent's postmark rather than a typical vessel-named advertising marking. Note the "Route 8165" below the name of the vessel. This is the sixth "Natchez", built at Cincinnati in 1854. Leathers received his first mail contract for this boat together with two other boats. This was an unusual letter to be both picked up and dropped off on the course of a contract steamboat route.

Milgram No. 833; Estimate $150 - 200.

In 1866, the contract for route 8106 was advertised but only one bid was received from A.S. Mansfield at $10,000 a year for a twice weekly service. It appears that he subcontracted Thomas Leathers who was running the "Magenta" for some of the service.

The "Magenta" of 848 tons was built at New Albany, Indiana in 1864 and sold off the slips to Capt. David White and others for the New Orleans - Vicksburg trade. Sold again in November 1865 to Thomas P. Leathers with White retaining 3/8 share. In January 1866 Leathers and John Cannon owned equal shares. Leathers and Cannon did not hold a contract for the route until 1875.
