rif. 013515[Poste aux Commissions] Ph. Maneiry P.S., Paris, 20 juillet 1848, 1p in-4 oblong. Titre travail de la Poste aux Commissions, dont le titre précis est « Société de Travailleurs Organisé pour l'exploitation, dans Paris et la banlieue de la Poste aux Commissions ». Cette société fut active à partir d'octobre 1848 et avait 585 relais, afin de permettre à tout usager potentiel d'avoir un relais à 100m de chez lui. Ce document est donc celui du relais n°75 de Louis-François Jacotier qui est probablement le relieur Jacotier (1796-1851) arrivé à Paris en 1832 ou 1834 suivant les sources. Les statuts de la société sont reproduits au dos du document. Ce service n'eut que peu de succès et semble avoir duré quelques mois. Très rare témoignage de l'éphémère premier service de poste privée. [304-2]
