    Third Printing Group 1871/72: 1 real deep bistre brown, a fine horizontal pair with large margins all round but some peripheral stains from gum below, used on 'turned cover' from Pujili and returned with weight "4 oz." in manuscript, tied by "Latacunga" datestamp (Nov 23) in black. Reverse showing the same franking but with two single examples, again in this scarce shade, apparently pre-cancelled with pen crosses and mailed to Latacunga. A rare and most unusual usage.
