Canada - Soldiers Letter. 1841 (Mar 19) Entire letter from Gosport to Kingston, Upper Canada, headed "From No. 422 Jas Doran, Hospl Serjt, 66th Regiment" and countersigned, prepaid at the 1d soldiers concession rate with red Paid datestamp of London and black boxed "MISSENT TO / SALISBURY", backstamped at Gosport and Salisbury. The letter concerns a plot of land purchased by Doran prior to his regiment leaving Canada; Serjt Moffat has now viewed the land and tells him it is rock or drowned lands covered in water and not worth sixpence. Doran asks for his money back, or to exchange the land for a good lot worth the money. A scarce soldiers letter to Canada, very unusual with a missent handstamp. Photo on Page 88.
