    1872 (17. Jun.): 6 c. carmine (no grill), cancelled by obliterator cachet on letter with full contents from "PORTLAND" Maine via "BOSTON" and "LONDON" to "BERGEN". The letter was sent to a Miss Catlin care of Baring Bros. (Bankers in London), who had moved on to a bank in "BERGEN". Hence the letter was re-expedited from "LONDON" to "NORWAY" with 3d paid in cash, evidenced by a red 3 d. cachet, and a Lombard St. "PAID" (1. JY 72) mark. "CHRISTIANIA" transit on reverse, no arrival. Unusual combination.
