1873 (26 Jan) money letter sent by the Syr-Darya territorial government in Tashkent to the St. Petersburg court for wards of the nobility. The letter contained 52.42 rubles. The weight fee was waived for official mail so the postage was 58 kopecks (53 kopecks for insurance and 5 kopecks for the receipt). The corner seals belong to the Tashkent Territorial Treasury. Due to native unrest along the direct route from Tashkent to Orenburg, this cover was routed via Verny, Semipalatinsk, and Omsk (Illustrated in Rossica 165)
Estimate: $250
