CONSTANTINOPLE - SEPTEMBER 1877 
AMBULANCE SERVICE OF THE BRITISH NATIONAL AID SOCIETY.
THIS SCRAP OF AN ENVELOPE SURVIVED THE INSURRECTIONS IN TURKEY DURING THE 1870's AND IS HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT.
THE 2&1/2d ROSY-MAUVE STAMP IS DAMAGED AND THE LONDON CANCELLATION VERY HEAVY (AS WAS USUAL AT THIS TIME).
THE CONSTANTINOPLE DATE STAMP ON THE REVERSE IS CLEAR ENOUGH TO CONFIRM
THE DATE OF RECEIPT AT THE BRITISH POST OFFICE IN CONSTANTINOPLE.
MR. YOUNG, THE RECIPIENT, WAS OBVIOUSLY IN CHARGE OF THE SOCIETY AT THE BRITISH EMBASSY, CONSTANTINOPLE.
ALTOGETHER A STUNNING PIECE DESPITE THE DAMAGE.
