EVE OF THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE - TRANSATLANTIC LETTER WITH GREENOCK "SHIP" MARK; Rare 22 Jan. 1775 EL (minor wear) to Glasgow from "Manchester" [New Hampshire, U.S.A.] endorsed "p. the Richmond, Capt. Patterson, Q.D.C." charged "7" with a very fine black Greenock "SHIP" (light fold but with clear distinctive "S"; Rob.S1) nicely placed on the front, and very scarce to be seen so fine. The letter mentions an enclosed letter sent for a friend who was worried that his mail was being opened in transit in Scotland (lover-letters?!). The date of the letter is significant; a few weeks later the first unrest occurred in America that led directly to the War of Independence. This letter therefore dates from the very last days of Colonial British America. Fine Transatlantic item. [Stated to be ex Alan Robertson.] PHOTO |

THE 3rd & PIVOTAL ROBERT WALLACE "SELECT COMMITTEE ON POSTAGE" REPORT THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR CHEAP POSTAGE; 14 Aug. 1838 172-page Original "REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON POSTAGE" [+ Abstract of Evidence & Appendices; lacks maps - minor toning at top of first few pages, otherwise very fine), which was the final Report of the Wallace Committee and the one that concluded (vitally for the Postal reform Campaign and only thanks to the casting vote of Wallace as Chairman) that "A low and uniform rate of postage" (actually proposed at 2d for the first prepaid half ounce and 1d for each additional half ounce!) be introduced as soon as possible. This was the publication that directly led to the start of Cheap Postage and the Introduction of the Penny Black. Interviews with Rowland Hill, discussions of "Collection of Postage by means of Stamps", Postal Stationery, etc., etc. A mine of information and arguably the most important of all the publications of the Postal Reform campaign.
