These postmarks are really interesting. There are 5 on the front and one on the back. The first one is Banbury SE06 1855..The manuscript charge of 1/- is in bright red ink would have been applied in Banbury. This was the outgoing ship letter rate for a letter to New York.
This postmark is on the back and is a London morning duty 7 SE 1855.
