    1866: 10 c. lilac, Stone B, a fine example just touched at right, used on printed 1870 Money Order transmission form annotated at top 'Porto 0,10 c.', for a transfer of 13 pesos 20 centavos (ten in gold and the balance in silver) from Novita to Cartago, the adhesive neatly cancelled 'Novita' in manuscript. Clearly dated at base (Dec 17). Some minor creasing to the form but an extremely scarce and attractive usage.

    1866: 10 c. lilac, Stone A, a fine used vertical strip of four with large margions all round, used on hand-written Money Order for a transfer of 80 pesos between Ibagué to Cartago, dated in manuscript at top 'Ab. 19, de 1867' and receipted at base, the adhesives cancelled by YBAGUE / FRANCA handstamps in black. A further stamp (probably an 1866 20 centavos) has been removed from the form which has been restored over the space, nevertheless a rare usage on document - this being one of the largest known vertical multiples of the 10 c. lilac from Stone A recorded on letter.
