Question 2:

Question 2:

Why does one Watsa cover have
“CENSURE” cancel on the back
while the other Watsa cover has
a “CENSURE / CB” cancel on
the front? Were these censor
marks applied at the same time
or separately by different
censors?

Réponse / Answer
By Thomas Lindekens

The “CENSURE / CB” cachet
was applied in two part. See
cover on the next page.

I have this same letter in my
collection from the same sender
and I saw a lot of cover from this
sender.

The “CENSURE” and the “C.B.”
were applied, for me, by the
same censor man, maybe he
forgot “CB” mark:
or to earn more time or he lost it.

A lot of suppositions / deductions but not a real explanation - sorry
