III (26), 1c straddle-pane margin at left, tied by red grids on orange cover to Helsingfors, Finland, red "New-York May 14 Br. Pkt." and 1861 receiving backstamps, red boxed "Aachen Franco" handstamp and magenta manuscript rating, endorsed at top of cover "via Boston By first steamer via Liverpool and Stockholm/Sweden"
