June 2010 Society Auction
Lot 20. Folded letter Cayes to Port au Prince 30 March 1822 with French style handstamp
“CAYES” identical or nearly so to Jamet #11 without a date, followed by “37 ½”. That amount in Centimes de Gourde is a
likely amount for postage during the presidency of Boyer. One and a fraction page letter in English, neat but somewhat
faint and not easily read. Letter is commercial and has to do with moneys owed. File folds that do not seriously
detract otherwise sound and clean and VF.
