Summary: This page discusses uncertainty regarding which 'smaller colony' is referenced in three letters, analyzing the use of specific stamp denominations current in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in 1860. It also mentions an enclosed 12½ cent stamp used in Canada, with a fragment still attached to the letter, but concludes that the evidence does not justify including the colony under a specific heading.
