Reverse with LIMA arrival cds (Nov 1, 1871). RMSP steamer 'Nile' from Southampton to Colon, PSNC steamer from Panama to Callao. Accountancy markings in red crayon were erased, part of the cover at top right was supplemented, the endorsement was redrawn in this position, presumably an additional 1 kreuzer stamp was located there. The strip of three 30 kreuzer adhesives shows some perforation split, one 9 kr. stamp is glued around the cover corner, however for a franking of that sheer size it is of a very attractive appearance. The '3' in red crayon for the third weight rate is still lightly visible at the right of the 9 kr. stamp, the franking should have been three times 59 kr., thus the cover is underfranked by one kreuzer.
