1891 (15 Apr.) envelope from Berlin to Nepal via Segowlie (5.5), franked at 40pf., arrived 8 May, re-addressed to Calcutta (8.5) via Segowlie (10.5) and arrived 11 May, re-addressed to Shillong (17.5), then Kohima (21.5), then to Kindat via Tamu (3 June) showing "tummo" c.d.s. (Type D2, the only recorded example), arrived 8 June and marked "not known", via D.L.O. Rangoon (29.6), back to Calcutta (6.7). This much-travelled envelope not unsurprisingly with wear and tear.
