Uddevalla Postage due marking type 1 on unpaid double rate ship letter (conveyed with ship Thorild as per manuscript notation) dated Gothenburg September 14th 1850 and sent to Uddevalla. The figure "2" in manuscript indicates double rate = 2x 4 skilling banco and therefore the figure "4" in this charge mark was changed to "8" in manuscript. Three or four letters, all dated between July 14th-September 14th 1850, are known to exist with the charge mark type 1, and the above is the only one where 4 has been changed into 8.
