LETTER CARDS: 1895 1½d Pirogue very late usage in 1905 with KEVII ½d x2 & 3d affixed to pay the 2½d letter rate to Germany + 3d registration & tied by 'LEVUKA' cds, London transit b/s, German TPO 'Vom Auslande/über Bahnp 10' registration label & 'WUERZBURG' arrival b/s, opened in the European manner with the margins intact. A most unusual usage. Ex Gerald Patterson. [While this item may appear to be philatelic because there is no message within, paying the letter rate allowed for a loose page to be enclosed. The Letter Cards were very unpopular. 20,000 were printed in 1895. However, three-quarters of them were officially destroyed in 1903]
