Reverse with 'Callao' British P.O. cds and London transit (Feb 19) where crayon '1-70' applied with "T" marking in black - an early usage of same. Manuscript '22' décimes due upon delivery (Feb 19). A late usage of the Lecoq 1 dinero, but all stamps were to run short later in the year. A scarce cover to a most unusual destination.
