This is a travelling registered FDC dated March 1 1952 to Jesselton (now Kota Kinabalu). The stamps in full set were cancelled by partial Brunei postmarks, addressed to the Governor of North Borneo, Sir (Herbert) Ralph Hone (1896-1992). Sir Hone, who was a British army officer, barrister and colonial administrator, became the Governor of North Borneo in 1949 and held the position until 1954.
There are two postmarks on the backside; one dated March 3 1952 with Labuan registration and the other one postmarked partially with Jesselton registration dated March 4 1952. The sender of this cover was a Superintendent, P&T, Brunei.
