    1881 (July 1): 20 c. red-brown on yellowish, Imperforate, a used example (position 42) of fine appearance on 1883 double rate cover front endorsed "par R. Mail" to London ("Andes" deleted in manuscript), tied by "Port au Prince / Haiti" circular datestamp (Feb 24) in black. The adhesive has a slight repair at right, but the cover is of great rarity with just 6 covers known bearing the imperforate 20 cent with just three (the other two, ex Hubbard and Craveri, are also faulty - one bears a defective stamp, the other has the addressee's name excised from the cover) being single frankings, thus this remains the finest of the three recorded.
