(68,70) 1861 10c green and 24c gray lilac Washington tied by blue “Cincinnati O. Jan 3” cds and duplex grid on cover with original letter datelined December 27, 1865 still accompanying, addressed to Paymaster of the "USS Powhatan", care of U.S. Consul, Valparaíso, Chile. The ship was there in part to protect U.S. interests during the early phases of the Chincha Islands War (also known as Spanish–South American War). Manuscript routing instructions “Via Panama” at upper left and carried by American packet to Panama, then by British packet to Chile. Clear “Panama JA 28 66” British transit marking below stamps, part strike of red "25" centavos due handstamp at center and red “24” credit marking at bottom right.
Some minor cover edge wear and small part of backflap missing but overall a visually striking franking paying the 34c rate to Chile via Panama, with the original letter still present - an uncommon and desirable usage reflecting mid-1860s transoceanic military postal routes and consular forwarding practices.
