Good afternoon,
Letter sent from Porto on October 3, 1855 to José Maria de Andrade, Valença. At Porto post office the letter was prepaid with a embossed D. Pedro V, straight hair, die 1, blue, canceled by a circular barred numeral “52” to pay the inland rate up to 2/8 oz. At the time Porto was affected by cholera-morbus and likely at the destination it was disinfected by applying 1 slit with 14 mm and likely smoked.
This is a theme that interests me and I would like to ask if anyone has the text Pratique The Newsletter of the Disinfected Mail Study Circle Volume XXIX N.2 because it contains an article about Portugal.
Thank you
