Lot 8. Folded letter, Le Cap, 2 August 1780, ship letter to Bordeaux via Spain. On back
is VF strike of CADIZ in red. On front in manuscript is 16 (sols due in France). Postage probably breaks out to 4
sols ship letter, 10 for Cadiz to Bordeaux, and 2 for delivery at Bordeaux. Horizontal file fold near bottom detracts
somewhat from appearance, otherwise clean, sound VF.
