THE LAST (?) LETTER HOME FROM LIEUT. F. BENTHALL OF THE 3rd WEST INDIAN REGT. WITH 1st ISSUE 6d LILAC; 22nd June 1865 env.

Leone 6d lilac (minor perf. faults) tied by fine "B31" numeral, with red m/s "5" alongside and fine red "PAID/LIVERPOOL/BR. PACKET" c.d.s. on the front. The letter is rather sad, in the light of the fact that he was dead within a few weeks of writing it; "...I am almost worked to death just now; I have charge of a Company without a subaltern...my Company Sergeant is useless...I cater for the Mess and I am acting musquetry instructor...I draw about 16/- a day... out here barely covers my expenses." Plus an internal 1863 GB 1d Red EL to Lieut. Benthall invoicing him for all the military kit (over 50 items; from 1/- to £15, total £153-10s-6d) he needed for Africa; fascinating reading. (2 covers).
