June 2008 Society Auction

Lot 81. Folded letter dated July 6 1843 from Cap Haitien to London, Huth correspondence, nice condition with a marking in ink 1/5 on the front (single rate, this period). Receiving cds on back, 6 August 1843. Minor wrinkles, letter is otherwise neat and sound. Letter is in a neat but small and difficult writing - not English or French, perhaps German? On the front is a Royal Mail Steam Packet Service marking, quite weak but can be made out, CAPE HAITIEN JY ? 184? (the date in July not visible nor is the last figure of the year). Useable example of this scarce RMSP marking
