India. 1859 (Mar 21) Cover with Woburn, Mass c.d.s to Calcutta, initially paid 5c and then 21c, strangely backstamped "BOSTON / BR PKT" c.d.s (Mar 23) and "BOSTON / AM PKT" c.d.s (Mar 25), London and Calcutta Steam Letter datestamps. Apparently intended to go on the British Packet "Arabia" but missing the sailing so despatched by the American Packet "City of Washington". Very unusual.
