One of the most attractive Cape soldier's letters we have seen. Brian Trotter in 'Southern African Mails' at p531 states that an additional fee of 2d for letters sent beyond the Cape was repealed "sometime between December 1858...and February 1861." This item shows that the 2d fee was withdrawn at least 13 months earlier, making this a very significant item. (Image1) (Image2)

At the time, the standard postage was 1/- but there was a concessionary rate of 6d for a letter to an officer, as here. The taxing is therefore questionable.
