HAPAG: 1877, Entire commercial letter dated "St. Thomas 27de febrero 1877" and endorsed inside and outside "p. Lothringia" (Hapag). Since the company was a Hapag client and the letter contained information about a shipment carried on the same steamer, the letter was transported free of charge to La Guaira, here franked with 2 copies 1876, ½ real lilac-rose, tied by undated "CORREOS LA GUAIRA" and handed over to the postal agency in the French consulate where octagonal "LA GUAYRA 20 MARS 77" was applied. A very fine and scarce letter
