Set of old letters and mails retracing the peregrinations of a French sailor, periods 1860-1870. Philatelically, we have 2 handsome two-tone letters, one from Bombay, "4 Annas et 8 Pies Victoria" to France. A mail from London franked with 4 Pence and 2 Pence on another letter. Mail no. 7 in the archive contains a pair of US 10 cents, again destined for France. The other letters contain common French and English stamps. It's the completeness of the archive that makes it so interesting. A complete correspondence documentation file is enclosed.
