"108" Postage due charge mark on unpaid letter sent March 31st 1863 by a Swedish soldier in the French army from the "Camp in front of Puebla" (Mexico) to Stockholm. From Vera Cruz this letter was conveyed by the ship Louisiane and arrived in Saint-Nazaire on May 5th 1863. The marking "30" was the postage due for a soldiers letter to an addressee in France, but did not affect the postage to a Swedish addressee which was 108 öre. Two letters are known from Mexico to Sweden. This is the only one sent from a soldier.
