Namaqualand. 1855 (Dec 1) Entire letter from the "Grahams Town Namaqualand Mining Co" offices in Grahams Town, addressed to Robert Moffat Junior at Cape Town franked 4d triangular, redirected to "Springbok, Namaqualand" and endorsed "per overland route" with a further 4d prepaid in cash, backstamped at Cape Town and Grahams Town, the 4d stamp tied by two differing "CGH" obliterators. Robert Moffat Junior (son of the missionary Robert Moffat and brother-in-law of David Livingstone) was hired in 1854 for two years to survey Namaqualand for copper and other possible minerals; in 1855 the price of copper dropped and the company lost interest in Moffat's venture. This letter was written to Moffat accepting his compromise solution to end his contract in return for £125, the larger wagon, 12 oxen and two horses; all reports and papers were to be sent to the company's Cape Town agents and company stock in Namaqualand was to be sold. The company had already paid £76.18.6 on behalf of Moffat Junior including £20 sent to Mr Moffat. The stamp has been cut from the letter and replaced, with some other folds or tears strengthened internally, nevertheless an historic letter.
