THE PROVISIONALS
The Vzd on Is provisional was the only issue that the Commissioner obtained
approval for; but the 40 sheets used for this issue simply created the necessity for the Id on
5/- because the supply of Id definitives was rapidly exhausted.
A piece franked with a pair of Vz d on Ids and a pair of Ids, paying the registered Empire rate,
cancelled on 30.08.07., the first day of issue.
A registered O H M S, envelope, franked with a Vzd on Id and a 4d, paying the Vz oz
registered rate to the U.S.A. The cover was cancelled in Georgetown on 23rd November 1907,
the last days of availability, as the Vz d on 5/- was issued three days later on the 26th. It arrived in
Minneapolis on 13th December, a transit of 20 days. One of about 20 covers known. Ex Byl.
