1862 SOLDIER'S LETTER to England with relevant backstamps. An elusive example of the PENNY CONCESSIONARY RATE franked with 1d Triangular (SG 5a). The sender was "230 Pte Thos Howden 2/11th Regt Cape of Good Hope", cover bearing the required endorsements and Commanding Officer's countersignature for this military concessionary rate. Adhesive has fresh colour and two full margins; touched at base. Cover perimeter faults and one backflap missing. Sound frontal appearance as usually found for these, rare.
