INTER ISLAND MAIL
A cover sent from British Guiana to Strathclyde, Barbados on 19th December 1899. It is
from the same correspondence as that from the previous sheet, but two years later after the
introduction of Imperial Postage. It was franked with 2 x 1 cent adhesives paying the Vi oz rate. It
arrived in Barbados on the 22™ and was back stamped with a Barbados Ship Letter mark.

Another cover paying the same rate from British Guiana to Barbados on 31 January
1899, but on this occasion addressed to H.M.S.Pearl and in the absence of a Ship Letter mark
presumably sent by the packet, there being no difference in the rate. It took much longer getting
there being back stamped on the 6th.!
