1942 cover to the U.S. with Trinidad transit
Trinidad was used as a transit location in 1942.
Interesting that the 6c was used instead of the 5c. The cover has a 1c over pay.
The Trinidad transit mark only has so many letters (this is the complete and fully legible marking). The mark only has the letters TRI and IC.
Three 1942 covers bearing 5c and 10c stamps
This first cover was mailed within Buenos Aires city, and the slogan reads: "(quoting Estrada): Libertad is an indigenous American plant."
The slogan reads: "Phonograph record mail service to domiciles, call the phone number Retiro 6339." Addressed to the Reader's Digest (U.S.)

Two 'cents' 1942 ship covers
This first cover was sent to the US with the request "Send only by the first Argentinean ship to the U.S.," and instead of bearing a 15cSC, it bears a combination of the 12c and 3c stamps. The 12c stamp is always rare on cover.
The slogan reads: "Use airmail for out of country."
This cover to Colombia has a "passed by censor" mark that was most likely applied upon receipt."
Two 1942 slogan covers
This first slogan, on a ship cover, reads: "(Quoting Estrada) Libery is an American indigenous plant."
This slogan reads: "Use the pay upon receipt service." It bears a rare "Passed U.S. Censor" marking.
A Selection of 1942 Ship Covers bearing the 5c San Martin
This first slogan reads: "Use the pay upon receipt service"
The slogan reads "Send your correspondence to a post office box."
Here is another Resecrucian Fellowship cover
A Selection of 1942 Ship Covers bearing the 15cSC
These are all ship covers to the U.S. bearing the 15cSC. Some have slogan marks.
This first slogan reads "Don't include money in your correspondence. Use the postal money order service or the declared value method."
This one is from the Rosecrucian Fellowship correspondence.
This slogan can be loosely translated as: "San Martin a key example amongst the freedom fighters of May" (I can't think of a direct word for 'prohombre', maybe 'helper of the common man'?).
This slogan reads "Dictate your telegrams by phone."
