1865, March 11. Entire letter from Pointe à Pitre to La Rochelle (France), with rimless c.d.s. on dispatch, octagonal “Martinique/Floride” datestamp (repeated on reverse). The cover was consigned to the Guadeloupe post office too late to be embarked on the “Impératrice Eugenie” which had departed on 30 March, with the consequence of having been put on board the “Floride” bound to Cuba and Veracruz, with previous application of 4 April datestamp on front, later completing the return voyage of the “Floride” after receiving the corresponding octagon-struck on 26 April. Very scarce and desirable. Salles 1.323a.
