(2).

1750-87 Entire letters (2) and 1764 entire, all posted within the London Penny Post with triangular "Dockwra" type Penny Post Paid handstamps from the General Office (L335a for SA, L336 for TU or FR), the 1764 entire to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel with filing endorsement showing the original letter came from Piscaqua, New Brunswick, all three fine strikes. (3).

1843 Entire letter to Cape Town with red "LEIDEN" c.d.s inscribed via London, backstamped red "SHIP LETTER / LONDON" datestamp and a London c.d.s with matching red boxed "Holland" applied three times to the reverse and once on the address panel. Jay L1084, only recorded by him on a page of proof impressions of handstamps used in the Foreign Branch in 1838 (illustrated on page 157 of the "London County Catalogue"), possibly the only example known on cover.
