1769 Entire sent by private ship to a wine merchant in Madeira, endorsed “To be delivered by Capt Mansfield” with manuscript notation on inner sideflap: “Copy / Montserrat / Alexr Gordon / Received 15th Feb 1769", some inconsequential toning in places not unduly detracting, the second earliest known cover sent outside of the British Empire.
Correction to printed catalogue: Another example sent to Madeira in 1763 is recorded so this is the second earliest known.
