BLAS" transit handstamp in black (Yag & Bash fig. GD85 / Tizon fig. 1) and equally fine "NUEVA / ESPAÑA" handstamp in red.

The letter, in Italian, states that the writer cannot sell gold for a good price, that he had received little help after a disisterous fire in Manila, and that his wife had given birth to their ninth child with six still alive. An exceptional entire, the file folds backed for protection but one of the rarest and finest of all Colonial period Maritime letters recorded. Signed Todd AIEP.rnNote: This is the letter from which both Yag & Bash and Manuel Tizón listed the 'S. BLAS' handstamp.

    1850: Inclinado 30 r. black on 'Bull's Eye' yellowish medium paper, Type II, the superb used example with large even margins all round, neatly cancelled by large part 'Correio Ceara' datestamp (Dec 2) in black. An exceptional and extremely rare stamp, formerly a horizontal pair housed in the Niso Vianna collection and since separated, this example being much finer than the other known example used in Rio de Janeiro (Walter Taveira sale, Investphila, 16 March 2012, lot 1372). Just three used examples of this rarity are recorded and one of the highlights of Brazilian classic philately. Cert. Peter Meyer (2014) RHM 5C = RR.
