1841 (Oct) Entire letters prepaid from London to USA or Scotland to Canada both with Liverpool "broken circle" datestamps used on mail carried by Cunard packets, the first with the dotted broken datestamp "L / OCT 7 / 1841" (this type unrecorded by Robertson or Tabeart, but a variant of types M22/23, code "L" used on letters from London); the second letter with quartered circle "D / OCT 14 / 1841" on reverse (type M23, scarce "D" code used on letters originating outside London), both carried on the "Britannia" to Halifax or Boston. A rare pair from the same sailing, the first with part reverse missing, otherwise fine. (2). Photo on Page 86.
