    1869 (Sept 15): Original hand-written document on printed 'Ministero de Gobiero, Policia y obras Publicas' headed paper dated at Lima addressed to the Director General of Posts, Dávila de Condemarin, ordering and approving the issue and 5 c. rate of use for the "Trencito" between Lima, Callao and Chorillos. Reverse with letter signed by Dávila (Lima, 12 January 1870) detailing the stamp required "cinco centavos" to be printed on the Lecoq machine and the rush required to create "estampillas lithografados". An important document for Peruvian and Railway Philately, and the first postal document realistically dealing with a 'commemorative' stamp issue. Unique.
