    1859: 5 c. violet-blue with large margins aall round used with touched 20 c. bright blue on January 27, 1860 entire letter to Rio Negro cancelled by fine pearled BOGOTÁ handstamp in black. A splendid entire from this newly found correspondence, the 25 centavos franking paying the rate for a triple weight (16-20 grams) letter carried up to 450 kms. Some file folds away from the adhesives but a rarity - the only similar item in the Norman Hubbard collection was badly defective - a superb and most attractive first issue cover. Cert. Moorhouse (2016).
