Empty envelope, measurements 5.25 x 2.50 inches. Queen Victoria East India Postage HALF ANNA Stamp, although difficult to read I think the date written on the back of the envelope at the bottom of the REGISTERED rectangle rubber stamped is 7/4/74, two post marks Umritsur Post Office 2nd Delivery 9 April and Peshawar which only has AP visible in the middle - after researching online I found the following related to both postmarks:
"Umritsur Post" refers to
historical postal markings from Amritsar, India, during the British Raj, showing its former name (Umritsur) on old covers,
Umritsur was the anglicized spelling of Amritsar in colonial times. Unique Postmarks: Features include distinctive circular date stamps, and various delivery markings (e.g., 2nd, 3rd delivery).
Queen Victoria East India Postage Half Anna stamp handstamped over it could be the number 68 which is likely a numerical cancellation from a post office.
Red/Brown seals on back, too damaged to read
Based on search results related to Peshawar's postal history in the late
1800s, postal markings from this area during that era reflect its
status under British India, specifically within the Punjab Province
before 1901. Key details regarding Peshawar postmarks from the 1800s include: Peshawar
was a significant military and trade hub, with postal items often
including correspondence from British troops, such as the 3rd Battalion
Rifle Brigade. Field Post Offices (FPO):
Covers from the late 19th century (e.g., 1897) often feature FPO
markings, including "F.P.O. 6 squared circle"
indicating use during military campaigns on the North-West Frontier.
