(the day after the seige began and not delivered until after the relief), 1900 (1 Mar.) stampless envelope to Burma endorsed "Siege of Ladysmith no stamps available", straight line "LADYSMITH SIEGE POST OFFICE" dated cancel tying Natal 1d. on local envelope (plus a similar on front with additional double-ring c.d.s.) and both types of illustrated post card.
