(25 April 2020) Mail which has travelled across the Atlantic and cannot be delivered is found with “Unclaimed”, “Deceased”, “Left the Island” etc handstamps or manuscript endorsements and assumed to be returned to sender, when known, free of further charge. Mail which has crossed “both ways” falls into two groups. Unpaid mail, as a result of the Act of 1847 made it compulsory for the sender to pay postage on returned unpaid letters, and short-lived handstamps surmounted by a Crown and inscribed “The Party to whom this letter/is addressed has not Called for it/(date)" were applied at London, Edinburgh, or Dublin. The second group is prepaid additional postage adhesive mail, with illustrations from Barbados (JU 9 1860), and Trinidad (MR 8 1864).

This cover has a reluctance to show year of posting clearly, but as 40 and 42 would require censorship it would seem to have been posted at St. John's, Antigua A/AP 8 49. The reverse has no transit or arrival cancels and just has a "Mrs. A Forrest, Antigua" sender's address. The airmail rate of 2/6½d is correct but why is there a handstruck RECEIVED FROM H.M. SHIPS? Your thoughts appreciated.
