1891, Insufficiently prepaid letter sent February 18th from Fiji via Kalmar to Färjestaden. Probably a partly prepaid letter, but the stamp has been removed. For partly prepaid letters the postage due was to be calculated as twice the missing postage. This letter has been charged only 8x 5 öre=40 öre, with an attractive block of eight. This corresponds to a prepayment evaluated as 40 öre which would result in the charge 2x (60-40)=40 öre. The letter is opened up for display. This is the only letter known from Fiji.
