| Abbottsford 702 |
The correct spelling of this city appears to be Abbotsford, so the spelling on the precancel would seem to be an error. That said, the location was formerly called Colby Junction and was renamed in honor of Edwin H. Abbott of the Wisconsin Central railway. So perhaps both spellings are correct. (The city of Colby is adjacent to Abbotsford to the south.)
