The envelope was opened for censorship by Examiner No.15 of the Jamaican Censorship Service.

A small gummed label was affixed, originally to the inside of the envelope where a remaining corner is
still attached. This reads "Enclosure mentioned missing when opened by Censor" (JL100), and was

handstamped with the JCH2 handstamp of the Examiner (No.15).

This is the only known example of this instructional label.

The envelope was subsequently resealed with a JL14 label, handstamped with the letter "D" (PX1)
and the Examiner marked the front of the cover with their JCH2 handstamp (No.15).
