Hi Dave, Ray,
I read your conversation with interest. I am a member of the British West Indies Study Circle and am currently working on updating and extending the Jamaica Military and Censor Mail volume of the Jamaica Encyclopaedia that the BWISC published about ten years ago. In it, as you both may know, is a chapter on Postal Censorship, and I would be very pleased if either or both of you would be interested to contribute information and/or images that would improve the Chapter.
I have not yet got around to this chapter (as I am currently working my way through the Army, Navy and RAF chapters), but I do hope to start on it early in the New Year. I have, however, a reasonable collection of Jamaica censor mail, and have been recording covers that I have seen with legible dates for a couple of years now.
Do please contact me if you think you are interested in helping with information for the censorship chapter. I hope to collect information from as many collectors (and dealers) as possible/practical - the aim is to extend the current listing, remove any errors, and provide more and better illustrations.
I hope you will be interested in helping,
Cheers,
Paul F.
