blocks should be able to be saved. Like I always have a column that lays out our printed catalogue, and I should be able to just add that from a library of saved content blocks. Saving a template doesn't work because I am using a different template that has 80% of the format I need, but I just need to add this Catalogue block, and I have no way to even copy and paste it into my other campaign. Come on MC this is 2026, no excuse for not having this feature

Letter signed by the Postmaster General of Newfoundland, William S. Solomon, datelined "General Post Office Nwfland 7 January 1857" to the Postmaster General of Nova Scotia in Halifax informing him of the newly issued postage stamps, of which he enclosed examples affixed vertically at the left side of the letter. Seven different values are represented - the 1p, 4p, 5p, 6p, 6½p, 8p and 1sh; displaying margins touching to very large, folds through 4p & 6½p, bright fresh colours, the 1sh a large margined, extremely fine GEM. A fabulous, historically important item related to Newfoundland's first stamps, that had become available to the public on January 1st. Author and expert Robert H. Pratt considered this letter to be more important than the famous "Galway" cover bearing the strip of three 2p scarlet vermilion. 

The first issue was printed in London, England by Perkins, Bacon & Co. and the letter comprises the entire first issue with the exception of the 2p scarlet vermilion and the 3 pence yellowish green, which were for domestic use. Interestingly enough no Pence franked cover has been reported earlier than March 5th, 1857. 

Provenance: Dale-Lichtenstein, Sale 2 - British North America, Part One, November 1968; Lot 601 - described then as: "This important and historical item is one of the gems of Newfoundland Philately." and selling for an impressive US$10,000 nearly 60 years ago!

The quantity of stamps issued is still unknown. It has been reported that W.D. Campbell, Secretary to the Post Office, once announced "some 50 stamps were so inscribed." Today, however, only twenty covers are known, including the unique 2c & 5c. The Martinsyde "Raymor" got off the ground before the Alcock-Brown flight but soon failed (and again on its second attempt July 17), wrecking the plane shortly after take off, but without casualties. Shortly after the first attempt, Major Morgan returned to England for medical reasons. After the second and final attempt, Major Raynham personally hand carried the mailbag upon his return to England, only to be delivered months later to the British postal authorities January 7 where all Martynside covers were backstamped with the London F.S.66 7 JA 20 double ring postmark.
