The Boer War
1901 (10 June) envelope (opened-out) "Registered" to Point, Port Natal, showing oval-framed "registered/bca/letter" handstamp and bearing Small Arms 2d. brown with one stamp cancelled and tied by superb near-complete "b.s.a.c." fleuron datestamp, the other three stamps sharing Fort Jameson double-ring datestamp (5.7) with a further strike below, believed to have been routed via Domira Bay on Lake Nyasa where it would have been placed on a small vessel of the African Lakes Corporation to Chinde with 3 August datestamp on reverse along with Durna and Point datestamps (both 21.8), apparently arriving "open" and with Found Open And Officially Sealed label applied at left, partially over the franking; a few small imperfections though a fascinating cover possibly using a new postal route to Fort Jameson.

Note: This cover is offered with a file of copious notes written by the owner explaining the possible routing of this cover
