Another letter to Madras with two wide-margined stamps next to “SECUNDERABAD/Paid” boxed pm, a bold strike of delivery mark “AM” to indicate morning delivery, and small rectangular Madras GPO arrival datestamp. An appealing and scarce pair of early Secunderabad mail with addresses in English and Farsi/Marathi.
