    Chandernagor 1777 (Dec 15): Entire letter from Vaux-Champagne, Ardennes, France to Jean-Baptiste Chevalier, Governor and commander of the French Forces 'sur la Gange' in Chandernagor between 1767 -1778, carried outside the mails. Following the outbreak of war between France and Britain in 1778 a British force again took Chandernagor (it had been restored to France in 1763) and the Chevalier was given parole and was allowed to return to France. The entire, with an intact Crowned red wax seal on reverse, probably carried from Lorient via the Cape and Calcutta. Rare.
