                                                Lot 81.   Folded letter dated July 6 1843 from Cap Haitien to London, Huth correspondence, nice

                                                        condition with a marking in ink 1/5 on the front (single rate, this period).  Receiving cds on

                                                      back, 6 August 1843.  Minor wrinkles, letter is otherwise neat and sound.  Letter is in a neat

                                                         but small and difficult writing - not English or French, perhaps German?  On the front is a

                                                                    Royal Mail Steam Packet Service marking, quite weak but can be made out,

                                                         CAPE HAITIEN JY ? 184? (the date in July not visible nor is the last figure of the year).  

                                                                                        Useable example of this scarce RMSP marking
