This is a Mauritius Pre Stamp Full Letter.  It was sent from Mauritius to Bordeaux, via ship to Bombay and overland from there on 8/3/1847.

What makes this letter so special is not merely its age and condition, but the postal markings it has.  It has the INDIA PAID BOX IN RED on the front, along with a Marseille transit on the front, again in RED.  There is a BORDEAUX RECEIVER in BLACK on the back.  It also has an embossed paper seal.  This is VERY RARE ROUTING!

This letter recites the commercial dealing between dealers, along with more formal accounting.

Please take care as this cover, while it is in fantastic shape, is still over 100 years old.

This item is over $100 USD so I will ship it using Priority Mail in the US, and Registered Mail overseas.  This is to ensure that it reaches you in a safe and timely manner, and includes tracking!
