A rare early post office document. Proud OPD1 and the sole date recorded by him. Holcombe Certificate (1989). PhotoNote: There being no postal treaty with Colombia at this time, all mail had to be prepaid and the postage on foreign letters passing through Jamaica had to be collected before the item was forwarded (Image1)
