    1853: Cover endorsed 'via Southampton' mailed from Calcutta to Glasgow, sent prepaid with '1s.' marked in red manuscript with framed INDIA / PAID on front alongside London transit cds (June 25) in red. Reverse with CALCUTTA / GPO / SHIP LETTER in red (May 4) and Glasgow arrival in yellow (May 26) and carried by the P&O 'Precursor to Suez and the 'Bengal' to Southampton. An unusual cover - manuscript note on flap reads "4th May and no Steamer, there is a report among the Natives that the Steamer is blockaded by the Russians". Unusual and a fine example of the 'Great Game' and the constant fear of Russian invasion to British India.
