1873, July 8. Entire letter from Havana (Cuba) to Buenos Aires, placed on board a Spanish packet and conveyed to St. Thomas with the sender paying in cash the carriage fee to Danish West Indies, bearing St. Thomas cds, then transferred to an American packet to Rio de Janeiro, the 10c postage being probably paid in cash by a forwarder in St. Thomas, and finally consigned to the British P.O. where 4d. vermillion pl. 13 was applied, tied by "C83" obliterator at Rio. Letters with participation of a British P.O., forwarded via Danish West Indies are scarce. An exceptional use from Cuba with involvement of four different countries. Opinion Holcombe. Starting Price US$ 750
