| AB4518 |
| 1894 (25th March), printed circular, folded, addressed and sent to a priest at Padstow in Cornwall, England. Bearing a single QV 1d lilac (SG 33) tied by a ‘638’ BONC with a very fine proving strike of the scarce MAFEKING (25 Mar) single circle datestamp (with dot at base) alongside. Vryburg (26 Mar) transit backstamp. The three printed pages of text comprise a circular letter from the Bishop of Bloemfontein to his Diocese which was presumably sent at a printed matter / open letter rate. Very fine and a scarce example of this rate. |
