Scott 1509 on a patriotic cover celebrating the 200th anniversary of the capture of munitions from the British Fort William and Mary, December 14th 1774. Unknown cachet maker, open flap and cover is un-addressed.

"On December 14, 1774, local Patriots from the Portsmouth area, led by John Langdon, stormed the post (overcoming a six-man caretaker detachment) and seized the garrison's powder, which was distributed through several New Hampshire towns for potential use in the looming struggle against Great Britain. On December 15, 1774, patriots led by John Sullivan again raided the fort, this time seizing numerous cannons".
