Covers and Cancellations
1881 (Jan.) envelope to London, bearing 1867 4d. on buff paper with heavily over-inked "A91" cancellation, showing red arrival c.d.s. at left with despatch datestamp on reverse; also 1887 (5 Jan.) envelope registered to Germany, bearing 1867 4d. on buff paper, 6d. and 1/- with superimposed frames, all cancelled "A91", showing "R" in circle, Tortola c.d.s. and London transit datestamp - the 1/- probably does not belong as the rate to Germany was 8d. postage plus 2d. registration.
