Crowned Circle Handstamps. 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. 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)

datestamps of Melbourne, 'Australie V. Suez', Paris, Hamburg and
Gothenburg. A remarkable taxed cover from the Australian Colonies,
unrecorded by Ben Palmer, being the fourth earliest cover from
