Lot 8. Letter dated Cap Haitian 7 February 1849 to Gonaives by Haitian post and on to Port au Prince by coastal ship service. On the front is a strike of the British style double circle marking for Gonaives. The letter is marked 6 ¼ , which would be the charge for Le Cap to Gonaives. As usual, the charge for coastal service is not marked. Contents are in French, a page of neat writing that should be easily read. Paper is slightly frail but still entirely intact. Overall condition about good to fine.
