Description
1872 Unpaid letter from Manchester (June 6/18, 1872) to Patras (June 14/26, 1872), via Kerkyra (June 12/24, 1872).
Taxed at the arrival at 345 lepta, handwritten in red pencil.

The 5 & 20 lepta and the strip of four of the 80 lepta (pre-cut by the postmen, common practice in the Patras post office) are from the consecutive Athens printings. Catalogue ref: Hellas 17a/19c/21a
