    British Post Office 1854: Entire letter from Tampico to Vera Cruz with "Franco / Santa Anna de Tamalaupais" (July 30) cds in black and transferred to the British P.O. with "♚ / PAID AT TAMPICO" in red, with manuscript '1/-' in red at left - as usual a somewhat watery but unusually very fine strike (or peerhaps an over-use of the linseed oil in the ink make-up). Reverse with Mexican '1' real (prepaid for the transfer between P.O.'s) and double arc TAMPICO cds in red (July 30). A rare entire Scott A1 = $ 2'250 / Gi = £ 1'800.
