VERY FINE. THE 1862 2-CENT NUMERAL ON GREENISH BLUE PAPER IS EXCEEDINGLY RARE ON A FULL COVER. THIS IS ONE OF THE OUTSTANDING NUMERAL ISSUE COVERS EXTANT.
Almost all of the "on cover" examples of the 1862 2c on Greenish Blue paper are on pieces or fronts only from the Bishop correspondence. This magnificent cover with the stamp cancelled in red and a matching Honolulu datestamp comes from the Lyman correspondence.
The addressee, Isabella (Chamberlain) Lyman, married Frederick Schwartz Lyman on February 16, 1861. Isabella was the youngest daughter of the missionaries, Levi Chamberlain, who arrived at Honolulu April 27, 1823, and Maria (Patten) Chamberlain, who came on March 30, 1828, one of a group of four unmarried women teachers, the first to join the Hawaiian Mission.
