image 1839 (December) Large Post Office Notice, "On and after 10th January next the Single Rate of Inland Postage, on all Letters except those between the United Kingdom and the Colonies and Foreign Countries, will be the Uniform Single Rate of One Penny"... "The Uniform Single Rate on all Letters conveyed by Packet between the United Kingdom and the British Colonies and Possessions will be One Shilling, with the exception of letters ...... passing through France ...". The notice then gives details of rates from January 10th for letters from the U.K to abroad sent by Falmouth Packets, Dover Packets or Packets from London. The first example of this rare and important notice we have seen, issued during the 4d Post Period but giving rates and regulations for the new Uniform Penny Post period, 380x550mm, light fold and a couple of repairs near the upper corners (clear of the wording), otherwise fine.
