D. O. Blood Despatch Local's!
The local post established in 1845 by Daniel Otis Blood and his brother, Walter, was the most successful and longest surviving of the numerous private mail concerns in Philadelphia. Its history from 1842 through 1862 has been explored by several postal historians. The Scott Catalogue places the Philadelphia Despatch Post under the D.O. Blood &Co. heading, although the Philadelphia Despatch Post existed as an independent firm for nearly three years prior to the formation of Blood’s Despatch. There is some logic to this arrangement, because the Philadelphia Despatch Post is tied to the lineage of Blood’s. However, researchers are still searching for documentation that establishes the exact timeline and specific participants in this transition.
Robertson &Co.’s Striding Messenger stamps were initialed “R&Co.”. After the sale to Blood, the same stamps were initialled “D. O. B. &Co.”. The subsequent issue, lithographed by Wagner &McGuigan in 1845, has the name “D. O. Blood &Co.” added to the background. Blood’s Despatch prospered from 1845 through 1860. It moved to different locations and changed ownership during this period. By carefully adhering to the restrictions on post roads, Blood’s Despatch was able to survive the government’s effort to close down private posts. However, in 1860 the Post Office sued Blood’s proprietor, Charles Kochersperger, claiming that his letter-carrying business was illegal. The judge’s decision in this landmark case left the government with no choice but to seek legislation to declare the streets of a city or town to be post roads. Congress passed the bill in 1861. Blood’s continued in 1860 and 1861, but the firm’s closing was announced on January 11, 1862.
