Attended a one man bourse in St Catharines - my home town - which also gave me an opportunity to have lunch with my youngest, she's going to university there. Picked up a few things, but this one I grabbed from the dollar box! France isn't my thing but I thought it interesting and a nice combination of French and British cancels. Paris to Cheltenham January 29-30 1852. Folded cover, no contents.
