A Telegraph "Receipt" of 10 words, Manila to London via Suez dated 26 March 1889, costing 25 Pesos 75c.
Whilst these are normally called receipts, the sender of the telegram does not get to keep them. Instead they are retained by the authorities and treated like a sending form.

The front has 10 x 19 = 190 stamps of 8c totalling 15 P 20c.

The back has 131 x 8c = 10P 48c + 2c pink + 2 x 2½c green giving 10P 55c.

None of the 324 stamps used were actually Telegraph stamps! All of them have a Postal Circular date stamp, are punched and additionally have a Revisado Handstamp.
