    1852: 25c. blue single franking (just touched at top) on mourning letter with full contents originating from 'Versailles' (31. Mar.) addressed to an officer in the 32. 'Regiment de Ligne' in 'Rome'. The letter bears a cachet 'Etranger' (31. Mar.) in red on the reverse as well as a slightly unclear 'Corps Expedition. d'Italie Quartier General' (7. Apr.). The envelope displays slight wear and tear, which in the context of such a rare letter should be a secondary consideration.
