QUEBEC STEAMSHIP CO.
A 'A oz letter addressed to London franked with 2 x 2d adhesives paying the modified
U.P.U. rate of 4d. These were cancelled in Hamilton in January 1880 with the cover being
nominated to go via New York so it was probably carried by the Quebec Steamship Co. It arrived in
London on 6th February.
The second cover was posted in 1894 after the 2 'Ad U.P.U. had been fully implemented
with the cover being franked by 'Ad and 2d adhesives. Unfortunately there are no readable dates
until it arrived at destination in Southampton on 24th May. R.M.S.P. was still not providing a
service to Bermuda so it probably followed the same route as the cover above.
