JAMAICA POSTAL CENSORSHIP

Terminal Censorship: White Paper Labels

After little more than a week of use, the temporary green-blue labels for resealing envelopes were
replaced by a more suitable type (JL10) printed in vermilion ink on white paper:

---------- ------------------~-~~-----...-------·

OPENED BY

CENSOR.

1939 (13th September)
Cover from Kingston to New York, USA

This cover was mailed in Kingston on 13th September and opened for censoring by the Jamaican
Censorship Service.

The cover was sealed with a JL10 type resealing label - this is a very early example of such a label,
the earliest recorded date being 12th September 1939.

lt was intended that these resealing labels would be used in conjunction with a handstamp bearing
the identifying number of each individual Examiner, but these were not yet available.
