1853 Canton (24 May) to Shanghai. Consignee entire letter, showing “Consignee per Lady Mary Wood” annotation and Chinese delivery annotation by ink-brush.

Scarce example of consignee letter and it is the only one carried by Lady Mary Wood. 1853.5.24 廣州寄上海。提單信郵簡，寫有“Consignee per Lady Mary Wood”及中文毛筆批示。由於鐵行輪船公司壟斷香港至上海航線，故郵資甚高，並衍生出這類較便宜之提單信。稀罕難得，更是Lady Mary Wood號所送遞之唯一存世提單信。
