    Sudan 1876: Cover, some staining, used from El-Fasher (Darfur) to Siut, with arabic manuscript weight calculations on obverse: struck with circular private negative seal of the Postmaster in Darfur in black, transit of very rare Arabic dated POSTE EGIZIANE / HARTUM cds in black (June 14) and Siut arrival cds (July 6). Despite imperfections, an historic and extremely rare cover - El-Fasher is 1'000 kms. West of Khartoum - the letter would have been transmitted by Camel. The earliest recorded cover from this still remote region. Signed Todd AIEP.
