Auction # 2440 WORLDWIDE + ARGENTINA: Splendid October auction!

ENGLISH MAIL: Entire letter sent from Buenos Aires to Bordeaux (France) on 25/DE/1860, "by English steamship". It was carried on the ships: Mersey (saied from B.Aires to Montevideo on 29/DE), H.M.S. Buzzard (from Montevideo to Río de Janeiro on 31/DE) and H.M.S. Tyne to Southampton (6/FE/1861). Steamship Tyne was delayed for 36 hours in Rio de Janeiro due to a delay of the Buzzard with the mail from Río de la Plata, which had been received from steamship Mersey, due to problems in her machinery. With various marks on front and back, excellent quality! Ex-Campigotto
