Falmouth/St Mawes. 1862 (Apr. 16) Stampless mourning envelope to London endorsed "Ship Letter Unpaid" and charged 2d, with a Falmouth c.d.s on the front, the enclosed letter headed "Ship Reunion off the Lizard" and including "we expect to disembark at Gravesend by Sunday if we get a good wind. Wallingford will then take the troops on to Chatham ..... Wally is quite a different character since we left Calcutta". Very unusual, charged as an inland letter despite the Ship Letter endorsement on the cover. Also an 1871 Stampless cover from St. Mawes to Sweden (corner fault) with an enclosed letter on notepaper headed with a fine engraving of St. Mawes harbour. (2).
