Bentley's Dispatch, New York, New York
Issued by Henry Bentley, who operated the Madison Square Post Office (formerly Cornwell's), circa 1857-59.
It is believed that sometime in 1859, Bentley sold out to Benjamin Lockwood, who had acquired the Broadway Post Office (ca. 1853-54)
and Swarts City Dispatch Post (ca. 1856). Lockwood's business declined during this period, and the operation was closed by 1860
