Early to Mid-18th Century Letter, an attractive item, on handmade mulberry paper measuring in full approximately 8 x 12¼ inches (207 x 310 mm), multiply folded down to about 4¼ x 2½ inches (105 x 63 mm) so as to fit into the foot postman's official bamboo carrying case; black wax seal (intact!) holding down three thin strips of paper that served to seal the letter; the letter appears to have been reduced slightly; we can't put a definite date on this—our linguistic skills don't stretch quite this far—but a remarkable early piece of Nepalese postal history, Very Fine. Est. HK$4,000-6,000

Early to Mid-18th Century Letter, an attractive item, on handmade mulberry paper measuring in full approximately 8 x 13 inches (204 x 330 mm), with address here at top left; the paper still showing evidence of the multiple folds required to fit it into the foot postman's official bamboo carrying case (the letter's "sent" size approximately 105 x 70 mm); black seal holds down the three strips of paper used to tie the letter closed (prior to addressing, as that text crosses one of the strips); text appears slightly truncated at right but don't quote us on that; a few natural voids in the paper, otherwise sound and a wonderful early postal history item, Very Fine. Est. HK$4,000-6,000
