MPF48c-2), manuscript « R No. 435 » perhaps suggesting it was registered, was also inspected by the Valparaiso customs, with the word « Revisado » and a date, wax seal to the reverse with inscription « Administración Gen. De la Aduana de Valparasio », delivered to Ms. Elizbeth, perhaps containing either important documents or money, very interesting and fine cover, with only minor wear, flaws and slight soiling commensurate with its journey and age, attractive and interesting cover.
