Entire letter from Barra do Panema-Sergipe to Lisbon, paying the single maritime rate to Bahia within Brazil with “Verticais” 60 r. vertical pair on reverse, imperfections at right, tied by “Sergipe” framed postmark, with Bahia cds on front around 22 months after this letter was dated, then consigned to the “Pampero” of the “South American & General Steam Navigation Co.”, with Lisbon entry and “160” due marking. Rare Portuguese framed “Abatida” on its very probably latest date of use, which was applied to letters that for any reason were removed from the remittance invoices for foreign mail, with postage to be paid by the recipient.
