英國寄中國北京 — 哀悼信封寄英國駐華代辦 R.N. O’Conor 閣下
1886年4月2日，自英國寄往北京之哀悼信封，貼用紫色一便士郵票兩枚與藍色半便士郵票一枚，均銷蓋倫敦「LONDON-W / X / AP 2 / 86」雙圈日戳與數字格線「W / 46」銷戳。
信封地址為：「R.N. O’Conor Esq.，英國駐華公使館，北京」。Sir Nicholas Roderick O’Conor 為英國外交官，於1885年3月至1886年6月擔任駐北京之臨時代辦及公使館秘書（Secretary and Chargé d’Affaires）。
信封背面蓋有清晰的英國郵政海運分揀戳（marine sorter）：「SINGAPORE TO HONG KONG / B / AP 30 / 86」，但本件未見北京到達戳記。
此封具外交通信價值，寄達對象為清朝晚期英國駐華核心官員，具有歷史與郵政意義。
