Mauritius to England via Kenya (Extra weight)

Examples of the Mauritius 1 rupee correctly used on its own are extremely rare. There are apparently only two such examples.

Jubilee stamps: 5c, 12c, 20c, 1r.

The below letter (see map) was mailed from the General Post Office in Mauritius (A) and travelled via surface mail to Kenya (B)and then airmail on to England (C). Airmail rate at the time was 50c per 10 grams or part. It appears that this letter was a double weight letter (weighing between 10 and 20 grams).
