It might just mean nothing at all.

'A' could just be an initial.

"A" might stand for America. (And America has 7 letters!)

No idea, honestly

I like to think the buffalo was engaging in premarital adult activities and was given a scarlet letter

There are literally thousands of counterstamps. Some have been attributed and identified; others like yours, we may never know what it means, or the original intention.
