Ambarawa. 1864, 10 cent red on letter sent from Ambarawa to Würzburg in Bavaria, Germany. Bearing two single stamps and a strip of 4; two stamps have been removed. Stamps cut close or torn, and the left stamp in the strip is torn; cancelled by well-struck Ambarawa half-round franco stamp 24.12 1867. Also on front is black “PD” and red octagonal “Indes Neer. V.S. P.F. Amb. Mar.” (Salles I.891) used on mail originating in Batavia routed via Suez for Marseille. On reverse are Paris transit 4.2 and Würzburg arrival 5.2 1868. An attractive yellow envelope with stamps of excellent colour and with clearly-struck cancellation; despite the obvious flaws, an extremely rare overseas letter paying the 70 cent rate for the overland route via Marseille (rate valid from May 1866).
