This listing is for the stampless letter shown. 1838 Bridekirk, GB, to Richibucto, NB, Canada. Letter to Maj. George Platt. Platt was an elder in the United Church of Andrews, as well a Major in the New Brunswick Militia during the border dispute with Maine in the winter of 1838-1839.

The Aroostook War, sometimes called the \"Pork and Beans War\", was a confrontation in 1838-1839 between the United States and the United Kingdom over the international boundary between the British colony of New Brunswick, and the US state of Maine. Top-level diplomats from the US and Britain met in Washington and forged peaceful compromise, the Webster-Ashburton Treaty in 1842, which fixed the permanent border. The term \"war\" was rhetorical: local militia units were called out but never engaged in combat. The event is best described as an international incident.
