This February 22, 1941 Aba cover
(figure 16) travelled through Juba,
Sudan where it received the “A”
sorting mark and Kenyan censor
tape when it arrived in Nairobi. It
is an unusual route for this cover
to travel.

Cette lettre du 22 février 1941
d'Aba (figure 16) a voyagé via
Juba, au Soudan, où elle a reçu la
marque de tri "A" et la bande de
censure kenyane à son arrivée à
Nairobi. Il s'agit d'un itinéraire
inhabituel pour cette lettre.
