 Inbound to Port of Spain 1847 (April 16): Lady McLeod (5 c.) blue, imperforate, a superb
used example with huge margins on three sides and imperceptibly shaved in top margin but not cut into, used on 12th August 1847 entire letter from Norton Frew & Co. in San Fernando to Port of Spain, cancelled by manuscript pen cross in ink. The
letter mentions an enclosure (a bank transfer) and the addressee's name has been removed and professionally replaced (the cover was probably addressed to Barnet & Best Co.), the entire being one of just two known that does not emanate from the Taylor

 Inbound to San Fernando 1847 (April 16): Lady McLeod (5 c.) blue, imperforate, a superb used
example from the top left corner of the supposed sheet of 50 subjects (position 1 on the supposed sheet of 50 or perhaps 54 (6 x 9) and probably lithographed by Charles Pétit on instructionms from David Bryce, the owner of the vessel), with mostly
huge margins on three sides and showing portion of adjoining stamp at right, shaved at lower left but without doubt the finest example extant on letter; on 2 March 1848 entire letter from Port of Spain to San Fernando cancelled by manuscript ink
cross in ink. Census #C32, illustrated in "Trinidad - A Philatelic History" by Sir John Marriott, Michael Medlicott and Reuben A. Ramkissoon on page 290. A magnificent entire letter of great importance to classical philately. Certs. Philatelic
