Great Britain

1875, 13 Oct, entire letter from MANCHESTER 13 OC 75 m/s endorsed via Marseilles addressed for Patras with weak arrival on reverse. The elusive postage of 6½ d consists of a 6 d grey, plate 14 and a red ½ d. This postage is rare in the period July- December 1875, when the 2½ UPU postage was not valid for letters sent via France, so most senders would have send this letter through Belgium and save four pence.
