    5 c. orange-buff, a dry printing, used in combination with 10 c. greenish blue on December 21, 1861 cover from James H. Jenney in Honda (cachet at upper right, Jenney was an English miner from Sussex) mailed to the firm of Rasch & Ca. in Bogotá, each stamp cancelled by "0" in black. The stamps in fine condition with the 10 c. showing stain from the manuscript ink underneath, some negligible creasing from the cover of no significance. A rare and exceptional franking during the four month period under 'Mosquera' rates. Signed Calves, cert. Moorhouse (2012).
    Note: On August 28, 1861 Tomas Cipriano de Mosquera altered the existing postal rates by memorandum. He ordered that the internal Colombian postal rates of April 1846 be re-introduced, namely 10 centavos for an inter-state letter and 15 centavos from one state to another. Only four letters are known sent during the four month period between August and December 1861, a new organisation being implemented on January 1, 1862.
