When Cunard transferred its Boston sailings to New York and declined to call any longer at Halifax, the British Government, on January 1, 1868, entered into an agreement, with Canada's Inman Line, and later with the Allan Line, to provide all service from Halifax to Queenston. This letter was too late to reach Quebec if posted on the "Moravian" (Oct. 31) and so was sent on to New York. The Cunard packet "China" was to leave on November 4 and travel to Queenston via Halifax. However, because of the First Packet Principle, this letter was sent out of New York on the "City of Cork" on November 3, arriving in Queenston November 20 and Liverpool November 22. Since Inman only had a contract to carry the letter from Halifax to Britain, the letter had a free ride to Halifax and was only charged 12½¢ instead of the usual 15¢ British packet rate.
