'Callao' despatch cds at left (Sept 22) and 'Panama' cds of transit (Sept 29) and ''N.Y. Steamship / 10' charge mark (Oct 12) for incoming Ship Letter. One side flap missing and it is probable two further stamps have been removed from upper left but an important usage - the Late Fee was charged at 6d. doubling the rate to Panama. One of very few strikes known of the "Late Fee" on cover. We have records of just three covers and four pieces.rnProvenance: Collection André Bollen, DF, Zurich, 29-30 March 1984, lot 11683.rn
