    Overprinted by Keith & Co. 1869 (Aug 23): 3 d. blue, intermediate perf. 14-16, no wmk., overprinted 'POSTAGE.' (Type 7e) in black, a horizontal pair used on 1869 cover to 'Camp Poona', Bombay Presidency, India tied in black with "Durban / Natal" cds of depatch at left (Oct 23). Framed BOMBAY / SHIP LETTER / BEARING at left, reverse with two Bombay transits (Jan 4, 1870) and Poona arrival on front.
