New Zealand. 1844 (16 May) entire letter from John Seal Bird in Wellington to his sister Lady Maxwell in London, with red framed "paid at/wellington" on the front, oval "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.
