Folded letter was written September 4, 1876 in Tampico, Mexico and postmarked six days later in New Orleans. Circled "T" on front denotes postage due. Front also has "SHIP" marking. The letter was then postmarked in New York on September 14, taken to Liverpool and transported through England to the French entry port in Cherbourg by "closed" mail as shown on the blue Cherbourg marking from September 25. The exchange office reported a collection of 1.05 francs (handwritten in red brown). Marking on back shows the letter reached Mause on September 27. A very interesting cover sent long before Mexico joined the Universal Postal Union.
