Ghana - Fire-crowned bishop

IN 1959 Ghana issued a set of defintive stamps with four different birds, one of them being the Black-winged Red Bishop  (Euplectes hordeaceus) which was also used on postal stationary such as this aerogram for the international postage rate of 6d at that time. The aerogram was sent from Tsito in Ghana to Sweden in 1960.  I am unable to find Tsito on Google maps, so I chose the closest place Volta.
