1910 Printed circulars from Downing Street, the first dated 14th February announcing the extension of the Imperial Penny Postage Scheme to Kelantan, Kedah and Perlis, and to Trengganu once a Post Office is opened; the other dated 13th July, regarding recent disputes and irregularities that have arisen with various colonies concerning the sale of stamps to the trade, especially connected with surcharged issues - all colonies must ensure adequate stocks of stamps (especially ½d and 1d) are always kept so that surcharging of stamps should be unnecessary. Both sent to St. Helena with violet oval "THE CASTLE / ST. HELENA" dated cachets, the second also with a St. Helena c.d.s applied. Two interesting circulars. (2).
