Backstamped Dublin tablet SHIP LETTER and octagonal General Post datestamp, plus Edinburgh arrival. Rated “1/7” (later amended to “2/9 1/2”) to include the Scots Additional Halfpenny Tax. A very rare cover, with only two recorded examples of the Westport Ship Letter handstamp known from this single landing of mail there in January 1821, the other being from Funchal to Cardiff.
