Since I am here, I might as well post something. Here is an uncommon surviving use of the 24 cent 1861 stamp for a heavier domestic mail item. The rate was 3 cents per 1/2 ounce, so this is an 8-times rate for an internal letter. The docket tells us it was sent in 1866, which seems reasonable given the New York marking and the stamp.
