Worldwide Stamps and Postal History

1912 (Aug 10) Note written and signed by Harry Pennell, Captain of the "Terra Nova" from his home at Honiton to Rupert England, formerly Captain of Shackleton’s "Nimrod", with an attached block of four Victoria Land 1d stamps (some perf separation, one stained) C.T.O with the Antarctic c.d.s of 3 MR 12. The note reads "Dear England, I enclose 4 Victoria Land stamps. They are I think worth keeping, if so they should not be separated (so philatelists tell me). The stamps that come on the market eventually will not be stamped with the post mark. Yours sincerely, Harry Pennell". Photo on Page 23.
