Mailed from Downingtown, Pennsylvania November 30, 1931 - a Pennsylvania origin point rather than the more commonly seen Miami or Caribbean departure covers. Franked with the 20 cent green Map airmail stamp (Scott C9), a less frequently seen franking on FAM 6 covers compared to the standard C10. Features the diamond-shaped \"First Flight Air Mail \/ Miami \/ Nuevitas \/ San Pedro de Macoris \/ F.A.M. Route 6\" cachet in black ink.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEye-catching \"RUSH \/ URGENT\" handstamp at lower left adds immediate visual interest - an unusual marking not often seen on prepared first flight covers. Multiple \"Via Air Mail\" handstamps appear on both front and reverse, reflecting the routing instructions applied along the way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAddressed to Sr. Administrador de Correos, San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic, West Indies - directed to the local Postmaster himself rather than the more typical c\/o Postmaster addressing. Return address on reverse identifies sender as William M. McFarlan, 356 East Lancaster Ave., East Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Dominican Republic arrival backstamp on reverse confirms genuine flight carriage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition is good overall with light aging and general toning consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA characterful FAM 6 cover with Pennsylvania origin, scarcer C9 franking, RUSH\/URGENT handstamp, and Postmaster addressee.
