Cover was mailed from Hartford CT to Stockbridge NY in 1853, Does anyone know why the Stockbridge cancel was applied (it does not appear to have been forwarded) ???

re: Use of receiving mark on stampless cover

My understanding is that receivers — postmarks applied by the receiving post office — were used to track transit times in order to monitor the system’s efficiency. The practice was common into the 1950s.
