Printed circular of Herckenrath, Wragg & Co., Charleston, dated February 6, 1857, sent from Charleston, South Carolina to Cádiz, Spain. Carried by British open mail via the Cunard Line steamship Arabia, departing Boston on February 11, 1857, and arriving Liverpool on February 21, 1857. The 4c newspaper rate was prepaid in Charleston and marked against “Charge key box 25” belonging to Herckenrath, Wragg & Co., with a black PAID straightline handstamp applied by the Charleston postal clerk. Spain was excluded from the April 1853 reduction of the newspaper rate from 4c to 2c, and the 4c rate remained in effect until early 1860. Boston did not mark the 2c U.S. credit to the United Kingdom, as was also the case at New York. Spanish postage due at Cádiz was ½ real.
