Notes
Chronicle 105
All correctly rated prepaid covers to Canada should have two copies of 9Xl as all exchange offices on the Canadian border were more than 300 miles from New York City. This cover is rated 9 pence due, as it is addressed to London, C. W., over 100 miles from the lines.

The Canadian due marking of 9 pence reflects the distance to London from the exchange office (greater than 100 miles). (Chronicle 105, Feb 1980, Vol 32, No. 1)
