Falkland Islands: THE EARLIEST KNOWN LETTER FROM THE FALKLAND ISLANDS, Entire headed ''Falkland Islands/the 15th February 1800'' and addressed to ''Major Thomas Millen/Hopkinton/Massachussetts/N America'' by one of his sons (either Alanson, Leonard or Lovett), endorsed ''By the Ship/and London/Diana Capt Locke'' and rated ''Sh 19'' in red, this rate correctly paying 2c. ship letter plus 17c. for the inland postage, with oval ''NEW YORK/JAN/15'' receiving mark. Fragile along folds and with one flap now missing resulting in the loss of the conclusion of what the sender acknowledges to be a short, hasty letter as ''I have little time to write. I presume it will be some time from this date before it will reach you for the ship I send it by is bound to Europe commanded by Captn. Locke in the Ship Dianna who is this moment getting under way'', a correct prediction as eleven months had passed before the item eventually reached New York. Shipping records reveal that the ''Diana'' returned to Portsmouth on Nov. 8th having also visited Cape Town on its return journey. Photo. A key historical document from the early history of the islands, of iconic status in Falkland Islands Philately.

Falkland Islands: THE HORATIO BILLINGS LETTER, 1830 entire headed ''Patagonia/Coast of Patagony Oct. 4th 1830/in Lattitude 51,,25, South/Longitude 57,,25 West'', written at sea east of Cape Corysfort on East Falkland and addressed by Horatio N. Billings to his father, Captain Gilbert Billings in Griswold, Connecticut with ms. ''20c'' rating and circular ''NEW YORK/SHIP/MAY/30'' receiving mark. Billings writes of his health and the success of the voyage, ''Wee hav got a good Ship and evrything Preceds with Quietness. We have got one whale made fifity bbls of Oil'', the progress he has made with his navigational skills and those of his ship, ''The voyage wee made the Falkland Islands today. Our reckoning wasnt fifteen miles out of the way''. Photo. This fascinating letter was sent just a few months before the seizure of the U.S. sealing vessels ''Breakwater'', ''Superior'' and ''Harriet'' by Louis Vernet in assertion of monopoly sealing rights granted by the Provincias Unidas de Sudamérica in their attempt to gain control over the Islands through the establishment of commercial interests. These rights were disputed by the the U.S. and British governments, the U.S. responding with the raid on Vernet's settlement by the U.S.S. ''Lexington'' and the British by their return in 1833 to reassert sovereignty. Photo.

Falkland Islands: THE JOSEPH BEALE, OR 'TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT' LETTER, 1854 entire headed ''U.S.S. Germantown/Falkland Islands/March 11th 1853'' (this year date incorrectly written), addressed by Joseph Beale to his wife Atala, c/o Colonel George Blow in Norfolk, Virginia, United States, with ''MISTIC RIVER/MAY/12/Ct'' receiving datestamp. The entire endorsed ''Ship 7c.'' paying 2c. ship letter rate and 5c. internal delivery, in accordance with Mar. 1851 Act of Congress. The fascinating three page letter provides a discouraging view of the islands at this time, ''A more wretched, dreary, heaven forsaken land than the Falkland Islands the sun never refused to shine upon. It is the picture of desolation and woe'', with extensive further observations in a similar vein whilst noting details of the settlement at Stanley and the fertility of the local women, ''Alone of all the animal or vegetable kingdoms, your dear sex seems to obey the grand law of ''increase & multiply'', if one may judge from the respectable number of blue-eyed tow-headed urchins frisking around.'' Beale also notes that he is not able to predict the length of the ship's stay as ''Lynch has had an official quarrel with authorities and has some intention of stirring up a tempest in a teapot; of which more anon.'' Photo.On the arrival of the ''Germantown'' at Stanley, Beale's commanding officer, Captain Lynch, had become embroiled in an international dispute with the islands' Governor (and talented sculptor) George Rennie over the latter's arrest of two American ships, the ''Hudson'' and the ''Washington''. From information received it was charged that the masters of these vessels had unlawfully killed twenty-two pigs, among other animals, on New Island and were to be prosecuted in accordance with an agreement previously agreed by U.S. Secretary of State, William Marcy. On March 7th, after much ill-natured dispute between the Americans and the British, Captain Hiram Clift of the ''Hudson'' was duly fined £1 for each pig, plus costs, this being a reduced sentence due, Lynch later claimed, to the guns of the ''Germantown'' being trained on the Court House. Relations worsened rather than improved after the trial with great outrage felt on both sides. The U.S.S. ''Germantown'', a 900 tons, 22 gun sloop, was built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in 1846 and later scuttled and burned by Union sailors during the U.S. Civil War as Confederate forces advanced. Although twice raised her hulk was sold at auction in 1864. In 1839, on behalf of the U.S. Naval Hydrographic Office and then in charge of the ''Poinsett'', William Francis Lynch (1801-1865) had surveyed the Jordan River and was the first to determine that the Dead Sea was below sea level. He later served in the Confederate States Navy. Joseph Beale (1814-1889) was the surgeon on board the ''Germantown'', later served in the Union Navy and became Surgeon-General of the U.S. Navy from 1873 to 1877.A full article (copy enclosed) on the 'Tempest in a Teapot' affair by Falkland Islands Archivist, Daphne Gifford, was published in the Dec. 1977 edition of ''The Upland Goose'' (Vol. IV, No. 2), reprinted in ''The Falkland Islands Philatelic Digest, No. 2'' (1979).
