LE LOUIS BLANC (10) ?: Flimsy envelope (no contents, slight split) addressed to Montoire, Seine & Oise, endorsed 'Par Ballon monté' and, unusually, with the weight (3½ grammes); star '4' cancellation tying 20c stamp with clear cds of Paris rue d'Enghien for 1. October 1870 (6th levée); faint arrival cds of Montoire. (Departure date suggests an earlier balloon possibly L'Armand Barbès.)Cross Reference: FRANCE, MILITARY, BALLOON MAIL
