Used to St. Thomas; 4p, pl. 9, paying the Inter-Island rate , tied on folded letter bearing red Crowned-Circle "PAID AT JACMEL" "ST. THOMAS DEC 1 68"receiver and Jacmel c.d.s. on reverse.

Despite archival information stating the Paid circular date stamp existed from 1864 it is doubtful as we can find no recorded examples prior to the 1870's. In addition, stamps seemed to be in limited supply as there are examples of stampless covers to 1870. Therefore, it must be deduced that Crowned-Circle was still in bonafide use in the late 1860's as the sole Paid marking available . ................ ...... .. .... .. .. .... ........ .. .
