Early Letters
1845 (8 Apr.) entire letter from Richmond to Frederick Whitaker (later Sir Frederick, Premier, lawyer and financier), rated "4" and "1/6" and showing the boxed "windsor/ post paid", "paid ship letter/ sydney" ocal d.s., both in red, light "new-zealand" double-arc arrival d.s. (22.4) and, on reverse, fine Windsor oval d.s.; slight toning though exhibits well.

Note: A fascinating entire showing that New Zealand cancellations were modelled on these markings and perhaps engraved by the same craftsman.
