    Malaysia. Sarawak 1892 (May 12): "Two Cents" on 3 c. blue Straits Settlements postal stationery card, a fine used example to Paris cancelled by bold "SARAWAK" cds in black with 'stamp' cancelled in transit by "Singapore" cds (May 14). Red "Modane A Paris" transit also on front. The card with minor creases and the address has been slightly re-written but the message on the reverse is splendid - the writer explaining that "the stamps with 1 cent surcharge cannot be sent this Mail as the stock of them is so low..." . A rare usage.
