Incoming Mail Overland via Southampton 1883 (May): Argentina 6 c.
postal card used from Buenos Aires to Charters Towers, Queensland
cancelled by a framed Buenos Aires datestamp (May 31) and prepaying
6 c. for a postcard to Queensland. The transportation of the postal
card was interrupted in London (July 1) where the “POSTCARDS TO
THIS ADDRESS / CANNOT BE FORWARDED” handstamp in red was applied
and the card returned to Argentina. Route - Royal Mail Steam Packet

Jacmel (12 June) and St. Thomas (14 June) to Plymouth (28 June); by

this postal card from England to Queensland is difficult to
determine. This card has imprinted at top “Universal Postal
Universal” for when Argentina joined the UPU in 1878. The card was
only available for delivery to UPU members and since The Australian
Colonies only joined the UPU in 1891, the postal card was thus
refused transmission in England and returned to Argentina

"wellington/ (crown)/ my 18/ 1844/ new zealand" on the reverse and
red London receiving datestamp (5.10), manuscript '4' showing four
pence paid but deleted as a double rate letter, also '1/4' to be
paid by the recipient. Endorsed "Tyne", mail was taken off the Tyne
in the Channel after she became stuck on Margate sands. John Bird
arrived as a New Zealand Company settler with a land allocation but
struggled. An advert from the New Zealand Gazette and Wellington
Spectator gives his address at Te Aro Flat and his occupation as
Cabinet-maker, Upholsterer and Paper Hanger. The long transcribed
letter thanks Lady Maxwell for a gift of £25, building a house, the
natives demanding a high price for their land without paying "utu",
buying a section, buying a brick making machine and a flour mill;
most interesting. S.G. CC8 (Estimate £150 - £200)

cancelled by the Sydney duplex and prepaying 1 s. 10 d. comprising
1 s. 4 d. for a ½ ounce ship letter to England plus 6 d. Late Fee
levied after the closure of the mails. A very fine and rare
franking. Route - P&O Line: Departed Sydney 22 Oct 1864 per
“Bombay” to Galle (15 Nov); “Simla” (17 Nov) to Suez (3 Dec);
overland to Alexandria; “Euxine” (5 Dec) via Malta (8 Dec) to
Marseilles; by rail from Marseilles to London, arriving 13 Dec 1864
(52 days). Note: New South Wales temporarily increased the rates
via Marseilles from the 1 July 1864 to the 14 November 1864
becoming 1 s. 4 d for a ½ ounce ship letter via Marseilles. After
this date, the old rate of 10 d. was again resumed. Letters would
have been charged at the higher rates for only four P&O
sailings from Sydney from the July to October monthly voyages.
During the four month period of the temporary rate increase, mail
sent via Southampton during this time was readily available. Thus
mail sent via Marseilles during this period is rare, with only a
few examples recorded. Provenance: Collection Davis, Forster,

Cancellations of New South Wales” by Freeman), prepaying 6 d. and
underpaid 1 s. 4 d. for a ½ ounce ship letter of 1 s. 10 d. to
Switzerland. “90” (rappen) manuscript in red for internal postage
to be paid by the recipient. Unusually, mail from New South Wales
to Switzerland is very scarce, with the Swiss immigrants following
the Victorian gold rushes and not venturing north over the border.
A small portion of the backflap is missing and minor soiling
confined to reverse, otherwise fine and a very scarce destination
for New South Wales. Route - P&O Line: Departed Sydney 22 Oct
1864 per “Bombay” to Galle (15 Nov); “Simla” (17 Nov) to Suez (3
Dec); overland to Alexandria; “Euxine” (5 Dec) via Malta (8 Dec) to
Marseilles; by rail from Marseilles (11 Dec) to Locarno, arriving
16 Dec 1864 (55 days). Note: The temporary rates increase appears
to have only applied to mail to Great Britain. This envelope was
addressed to Switzerland, and routed via Marseilles which avoided
the British mail system and the potential postage due. However, it
was still grossly underpaid, and not identified by the postal
officials of either New South Wales or Switzerland. Provenance:
