1825 (29 July) entire letter ex the "Tweedie" correspondence from Rangoon to Edinburgh, showing various rate marks, Calcutta G.P.o. c.d.s. and, on reverse, framed "india letter/london".

Also two further letters, one from Calcutta to Tweedie "Surgeon on the Expedition Rangoon", marked "p. Enterprize" - the vessel used to carry despatches in and out of Rangoon during the war, the other from Calcutta to Tweedie who has now returned to Edinburgh. A fascinating group. Photo
