5 c. burnt sienna, a very nice example with large margins, tied to letter sheet with adjacent red "SANTIAGO 20 OCRE 54" and double line "PANAMA TRANSIT" to Bordeaux. Charged in France with "21" decimes. Very fine and fresh. A most attractive and extremely rare letter, one of very few recorded of the Gillet issue to Europe.
Provenance: 'Islander' (95. Corinphila auction, 1996)
