Description
CIRCA 1770-1772 'W' LONDON GENERAL POST RECEIVER'S HAND STAMP ON LETTER ADDRESSED TO TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD. Fine letter written in French, unfortunately without place of origin or date, addressed to 'Viscount de Vaux, No.7 Little Charles Street, Charles Street, Tottenham Court Road', with hand stamp '2' charge mark and on front good strike 'W' within circle (26mm) London General Post receiver's hand stamp in black. On reverse London date stamps 19 MR 1798 and 20 MR 1798. It is possible this hand stamp is that of Martha Waters who was a London General Post receiver at Old Bond Street who used a very similar hand stamp during 1772. (Ref 129059).
