Here's one I acquired from the Harmer auction.
This mourning cover was probably sent in response to passing of Cleghorn's daughter, Princess Kaiulani (the last heir apparent to the throne of the Hawaiian Kingdom), per H. R. Harmer Auction #3036, Lot 2612, Dec 2020.

I've also picked up some of these, over the years, including one from 1926 -- so the practice continued into the 19th century, for a time.
