cover 1842 (26 July) E.L. from Pontianak (west coast of Borneo) to New York, showing good strike of blue-black oval "FORWARDED BY/J. BALESTIER/SINGAPORE" on reverse across join (flap edge a little creased) and showing manuscript "Forwarded from St. Helena by Revd. sir, yours respectfully, W. Carrol, U. States Consular Agent" alongside, red "SHIP" h.s. and "BOSTON" c.d.s. on front, a few faint stains and light filing folds, still a fine and fascinating item. Photo
