1852, lettersheet endorsed "on Service" from Calcutta, addressed to the Swedish government at Stockholm, sent via France to London, debited on arrival with "2/3", 10 d. postage to Sweden was added and the letter marked "3/1"; since the letter was supposed to have been picked up by the British consul, the tax was cancelled and again marked "2/3". Apparently the letter was not picked up and again the 10 d. added and the letter sent via "HELSINGBORG 18 4 1852" to Stockholm, where it was charged with a total of 1 Rdr. 24 sk. bco.; an interesting letter with scarce destination for India
