  • Losnr. : 1979 Portugal

    Miguelite War 1833 (July 27): Entire letter from Lisbon to Birmingham endorsed at base "per H.M.S. Pike" and struck with fine "LISBON / F" in green on arrival in Falmouth, manuscript "7/6 d." with red manuscript "Overcharge 2/6 d." at right. Fascinating content: "the people here rose as one and considering all things very few people have been killed ... thousands are now running to fight under (Dom Pedro's) flag ...I am just told all the English troops will disembark tomorrow and this will finish Don Miguel". A rare eye-witness account.
