1898 cover to Sheffield franked un-overprinted Great Britain 2½d Jubilee cancelled in manuscript "BURUTU 13.11.98", 'PAID/LIVERPOOL/BR PACKET' cds at left, reverse with arrival cds and two largely intact red wax seals of R.N.C/C.L. (Royal Niger Company Chartered Limited); some slight tone spotting.
1899 (15 Apr) large part cover to Scotland bearing manuscript "No Stamps obtained" and signed, framed Burutu date stamp, incorrectly taxed at 2d. and actually paid 1d.. On reverse Liverpool transit. Some faults to envelope, still a worthwhile example of West African Frontier Force mail.
