My 3 last letters have gone by different routes so I trust some ones of them may reach you in safety". The earliest of the five recorded strikes of this handstamp, and irrefutably the finest. provenance: "Kiwi", 1990Note: A new settlement was formed on 18 September 1840 and although the town was called Wanganui, the New Zealand Company named it Petre as a compliment to Lord Petre, one of the Company's London directors, however the settlers were united in their insistence on the retention of the original Post Office name of Wanganui in preference to Petre. The official name was changed back to Wanganui on 26 January 1854. Despite this, all postal markings were inscribed with the name Petre between the years 1843 and 1862. The cover offered in the above lot is from the same correspondence as that bearing a strike of the straight-line Wanganui handstamp, offered by Spink in the John Woolfe sale (lot 120) on 3 October 2006.
