    Surcharged locally 1895 (Dec 19): '2½' in red on India 1 a. 6 p. sepia overprinted, a used example on 1895 cover to London tied by MOMBASA squared circle datestamp (Dec 20, 1895). Reverse with hooded London arrival (Jan 13, 1896) in red. It is interesting to note that the Danson, Rossiter and Minns collections collections possessed no examples of this adhesive on letter. The envelope with slight trim at top and some sensible restoration, edge wear at right but very rare as a commercial correctly rated cover used on first / second day of issue.
