1784 MAIL UPPER HARLEY STREET TO ELTHAM, KENT WITH 'HODGSON' LONDON POST RECEIVER'S HAND STAMP (L375) VARIETY REVERSED. Fine letter from Upper Harley Street, London to 'Gilbert Burton Esqr., Eltham, Kent' dated 6th June 1784 with additional manuscript on front 'Penny Post'. On reverse good to fine strike 'NOSGDOH' straight line London Post receiver's hand stamp underlined at foot being the hand stamp of 'HODGSON' but LETTERS REVERSED. A most unusual usage and not recorded in the London county catalogue. One can ascertain 'letters reversed' as hand stamp underlined at foot as normal with this receiver's hand stamp. Also on reverse indistinct strike London Dockwra hand stamp. (Ref 129233).
