Abercorn 7 NO 01, Fife NO 1 01, Chinde DE 22 01, Zanzibar 2 JA 02 and Anvers 26 JANV 02 transit and arrival cancels are on the back. This letter was taken by runner to Abercorn (16 days) then a further 4 days to Fife. Then via Karonga to catch a boat on Lake Nyasa arriving at Chinde 41 days later. Thence by steamer to Zanzibar (11 days) and eventually arriving in Anvers after a total of 92 days in transit. The Chienji cancel is inverted on the stamp but can clearly be made out. A most interesting cover
