June 18 1850 San Francisco Cal. Per Steamer Columbus DBL Rate 80 Stampless Cover
to New Jersey. A scarce usage carried on the Laws Line non-contract steamer Columbus departing San Francisco on June 18th (Columbus Maiden Mail Voyage) and arriving in Panama on July 6th, then by U.S.M.S.C. - Falcon departing Chagres on July 12th and arriving in Havana on July 19th, then by U.S.M.S.C. - Ohio departing Havana on July 19th and arriving in New York on July 24th. Cover good condition with wrinkles...INFO...In May of 1850, George Law, president of the USMSC, began competing with the PMSC for the passenger and cargo trade on the Pacific side of Panama. The San Francisco postmaster agreed to dispatch mail to the eastern states on Laws non-contract ships if senders endorsed their letters accordingly. The S.S. Columbus was the second Laws Line steamer to depart San Francisco carrying mail. The PMSC responded to Laws competition by voluntarily increasing their service from once to twice per month. The Post Office Department formalized that schedule in October of 1850 and, at the same time, ordered the San Francisco postmaster to stop entrusting eastbound mail to any ships other than PMSC contract steamers. The consequence of this restriction was appearance of other steamship companies and letter bag operators offering to forward letters on other ships and routes -Ahead of the Mails.
