SHETLAND ISLANDS. 1829 folded letter to Edinburgh with, on the back, a superb strike of the uncommon boxed LERWICK 778 – E mileage mark. An AUG 31 1829 Edinburgh arrival cancel is on the letter. Mileage marks are calculated on the distance from London, and this ‘778’ of Lerwick is the furthest distance of all the British mileage marks. A delightful letter.
