Brazil 1846, May 22. Entire letter from Rio de Janeiro to Havana, endorsed inside "Por vía de Puerto Rico", apparently entering the mails at Ponce (Puerto Rico) with corresponding straight-line in red, alongside showing "¾ø" weight and "6" reales markings, thence carried inland to San Juan, with c.d.s. on reverse, together with Havana c.d.s. Splitting along edges and some soiling, not detracting from this very rare usage.
