 1861 printed OHMS envelope with 'Crown Lands and Immigration Office' imprint at lower-left and endorsed "Regst", to "WJ
McEllister/Crown Lands Ranger/Melrose" with rare domestic franking of Second Roulettes 6d violet-blue single & pair (one unit defective) tied by 'PAID/ADELAIDE SA' cds & another stroke below, light but obvious strike of the 24mm
'MELROSE/JA4/1862/S-A' arrival backstamp with misaligned date (rated RRRR), minor blemishes & several ironed-out folds. "Regst" probably means "Registrar". However, it may indicate that registration was required which would go some way to explaining
the remarkably high 1/6d postage, at a time when the letter rate was 2d per ounce and registration was 4d. (Image1) (Image2)
