    Incoming mail from Austria (1862): Double rate Entire sent unpaid from Trieste to Nauplion struck with framed "TRIEST 26/10" datestamp and rated "6/30" (Kr.) in blue ink (twice 3 Kr. local Trieste land rate and twice 15 Kr. Lloyd ship fee = 110 lepta), with 1862/67 20 l. blue, four examples and 80 l. carmine, overall fresh to fine with fair to large margins all round, tied by 'Nauplion' datestamps (Oct 20, julian) on arrival, reverse with Athens transit (Oct 18 62). The Austrian taxation of 110 lepta and the double rate for Greece of 40 lepta resulted in '150' (lepta ) noted in red crayon, the difference between the handwritten taxation of 150 l. and the added postage due of 160 l. is not clear to the describer.
