1843 (Aug 1): 90 r. black, fine impression, a used example with large margins all round and showing sheet margin at base, on reverse of 28 February 1847 entire letter from ARROZAL to Jacarehy, cancelled on despatch by manuscript pen crosses, and in transit in Rio de Janeiro by "CORREIO GERAL DA CORTE" circular datestamp (March 7) in black. The adhesive with surface rubbing and otherwise minor imperfections; the entire being internally answered but presumably the reply was sent as an enclosure as there are no signs of further sending through the Mails. Some faults to the letter-sheet but a remarkable usage, from the same correspondence as the manuscript cancelled cover from Arrozal sold by Corinphila in March 1984. Just three single frankings of the 90 reis are recorded on cover. Signed Sismondo. Cert. Sismondo (2002) Scott = $ 37'500. (Image 1) (Image 2)
