Franklin served as Joint Postmaster General for the Crown until he was dismissed in 1774 due to his vocal support of independence for the colonies.

 POST OFFICE IN PARADISE - Error Rate Sub-Periods
Letters sent to United States destinations other than San Francisco (See First Sub-Period) were treated in the Late Treaty Period pretty much as one would expect until the summer of 1864.
Article 15 of the Treaty of Friendship in effect between Hawaii and the United States since 1850 was an "arrangement" and established "different rates of postage." Thus, the proviso explicitly exempted mail to or from Hawaii from the 1864 postal rate on foreign mail.
Throughout the error rates, it was understood in San Francisco and Honolulu that the 10ยข rate was inapplicable to mail sent in transit through the United States, so this letter was rated in conformance with the 1863 rate.

As hundreds of postal workers waited outside D.C. General Hospital for testing yesterday, some expressed anger that they went untested for anthrax exposure and remained on the job last week, even after Congressional staffers who might have been exposed were examined and sent home.
Postmaster General John E. Potter said the Postal Service also was increasing security at its facilities and would introduce ultraviolet technology to sanitize mail.
Since Oct. 4, health authorities have confirmed 10 cases of anthrax infection in the United States, all apparently connected to a flurry of tainted letters sent to newspaper and broadcast news offices and to the Senate.
