This is an original hand addressed envelope (opened at the top) addressed to "Mr. Paul Kruger/President S.A.R./Pretoria/Transvaal/S.Africa." with "Private" written at the top of the envelope. The envelope is rubber stamped as coming from the Office of the State Secretary, is dated 27 Jan 1899 and bears three contemporary cancelled postage stamps. I have not been able to identify the handwriting but as ex Orange Free State President F.W. Reitz was the State Secretary at the time and in view of the fact that this was a personal communication, it is more than possible that the addressor was Reitz himself. Regretfully the contents of the envelope have been removed but still an interesting ephemeral, autograph and philatelic item.
