Venezuela1864, Sept. 8. Entire letter from Puerto Cabello to General Paris at Bogotá, being privately forwarded to St. Thomas, where it was consigned to the British P.O. with red "St-Thomas/Paid" c.d.s. and charged at "4" pence inter-West Indies rate in manuscript, placed on board the RMS "Tyne" steamship sailing to Cartagena, then taxed for the single weight with "10" centavos marking in red. A very scarce and interesting usage.
