"The unusual is surely the greatest magnet for the dedicated postal historian. A letter of non-philatelic origin which has been carried by irregular and varied routes from an obscure place of despatch to an improbable destination -- from, say, Christmas Island to Ecuador -- with its travel spelt out in transit markings, is something to be treasured."
The Postal History World by "Coverman" in Philatelic Magazine Fortnightly, December 8, 1967
