1841 (Apr 27) entire from Belturbet, Ireland, addressed to the British Consul in Cadiz, Spain, with 1840 2d blue in block of six, strip of four and three singles, mixed margins and a couple with faults at top, each cancelled by good strikes of the black Maltese Cross, endorsed "via Falmouth" and put aboard the "Royal Adelaide", reverse with Belturbet despatch, Dublin and London transits.
