| AB4187 |
1892 (18th July), envelope sent registered from Macloutsi to Cape Town. Bearing three examples of the Cape 2d with overprint reading up (SG 32) all cancelled with MACLOUTSI (18 Jul) single circle datestamps with a further strike on the reverse. With manuscript ‘R’ (also tying an adhesive) and registration number. One stamp with small fault and another has been removed or fell off in transit. Vryburg (25 Jul) transit backstamp.
Note despite the missing adhesive, the envelope still appears to bear the correct postage (4d registration fee + 2d postage for a half ounce letter to Cape Colony). It is possible it was a double weight envelope.
