Hello all!
Here is a letter mailed in Boston on December 6, 1865 to Kanagawa, Japan using the 53 cent per 1/2 ounce via Japan. It was carried on the Cunard Line ship China to Queenstown.
A docket on the back indicates the letter was received by Frank Hall in Japan on February 19. The letter went via Malta, the Suez, Singapore and Hong Kong (Feb 7).
Have a good day everyone!

Hello Rob
Thanks for showing this little beauty to Japan via Marseille.
Why couldn´t they send this letter via California to Japan?

the regular steam service between USA and Japan began only on January 1867 the 1rst, with the departure of the steamer COLORADO from San Francisco.
There was a contract US Government / Pacific Mail Steamship Co.
