Trinidad
1847 (16 April) "Lady McLeod"
1847 (1 July) entire letter from Gilbert Taylor at Port of Spain to his colleagues at San Fernando, bearing (5c.) blue with clear to very large margins nearly all round and showing fraction of adjoining stamp at upper left corner, just cut-into at lower left corner, clearly cancelled with a strong pen cross, interesting contents including "Nanny says she took the letter down on a Sunday morning and stuck in the tape in the News Room Passage" and " The Snake will be down with goods today"; the letter re-inforced in places though a most attractive example of this rare local stamp on cover. Sismondo (2000) and Brandon (2004) Certificates. S.G. 1. Photo
