CAPE  OF  GOOD  HOPE  

Mail  posted  directly  on  to  a  TPO  

April  1892  

Main feature  

The 6d late fee  for  posting  on  to  a  TPO.  Strictly  the  envelope  should  have  
been  struck  with  a  'LATE  FEE '  handstamp  [see  Goldblatt  page  120].  The  6d  
and  the  fact  that  the  stamps  have  been  cancelled  with  the  TPO  cds  
confirms  this  type  of posting.  

The rate to Germany was 3d for  each  V2  oz  between  the  1st January  1891  and  the  1st  
September  1892  when  the  rate  went  down  to  2 V2 d .
