VERY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE 1861 ISSUE COVER TO SYRIA. VERY FEW COVERS TO SYRIA EXIST WITH UNITED STATES STAMPS ISSUED PRIOR TO 1869.

At this time Syria was part of the Ottoman Empire. The 15c and 30c stamps on the cover offered here pay the 45c rate for British Mail via Marseilles. The single rate was 33c, and the next weight increment required an additional 12c for a total 24c credit to Great Britain. Covers to Syria with issues prior to 1869 are extremely rare. A number of covers to Syria come from the Reverend Dennis correspondence, but most of them have 1869 Pictorial Issue stamps. (Image)
