On reverse transit mark "EMMERICH/OBERHAUSEN 2 4" and distribution mark of the same day. The handstamp came in use 1856, the recipient, J.C. Wallmann, was in office until late 1857, so the letter can be dated within this period. Highly interesting and quite spectacular letter from an outpost of civilization in the jungle of Borneo. Certificate van der Vlist (2008) The letter is accompanied by rich information about the 'Rheinische Missionsgesellschaft' and its missionaries on the island of Borneo, most of which were murdered in the uprising of 1859.
