1871 letter from New York City to Jamaica, franked with two U.S. 10 cent (Scott #161) as a double weight letter and canceled in New York. Endorsed for the Brazil Line steamer Merrimac, via St. Thomas, where the British post office applied the 20 mm "ST. THOMAS / B" transit postmark (Facit cancel #32, 2006 value SEK 1500 or $200; DWI Mails #BR19b, $200-350). On arrival in Kingston, Jamaica, the letter was first handstamped 1d for local postage due. The Kingston post office then realized that the 4d British rate for RMS should also be collected, and the 1d was crossed out and 5d written in. Although the letter originated as a double weight letter, it was regarded as single weight upon arrival. Despite the initial attractiveness of the item, the entire lower half of the front is missing. Still a relevant and useful example of early DWI transit mail. DWI Mails indicates a value range of $400-700 for such a usage with one stamp, but in good quality.

U.S. 1 cent on ca.1920 picture post card with VF "SAINT THOMAS, V.I." FLAG machine cancellation. The card is an unusual type I have not previously seen from DWI/VI: sepia printed-photo scene of "St. Thomas. Town and hills." The message mentions that the writer is on board the U.S.S. Delaware.
