cover 1891 (21 Nov.) envelope, with Government crest on flap, per H.M.S. Magpie to Lady Spieoman, London, bearing 1885-87 1d. brownish claret "block" of three with one bisected, each neatly cancelled with cork obliterator (1B/91) and additionally tied by a superb strike of the "SOUTHAMPTON/SHIP LETTER" c.d.s. for 5 January 1892, the reverse with manuscript notation "send this envelope to Tony. H.M.S. Magpie just arrived. Harry Blackett on Board"; small tear at top through opening though clean and most attractive. Photo
