POSTAL HISTORY: 1811 Valentine's Day greetings folded entire on stationery bordered in pink with embossed flowers and message in the form of a poem including "... tis the happy day that's ruled by St Valentine ... Tell her to give her heart to me ...", sent to Miss Charlotte Goasdaile in Essex with London 'FE/13/1811' cds, unpaid and so charged "6"[d] in black on face (not very romantic!), couple of minor blemishes. An early mailed 'Valentine'; this practice did not become commonplace until after the postal reforms of 1840 and subsequent reduction in postage rates, which saw 400,000 Valentines sent in 1841.
