Soldiers 1d Rate. 1817-35 Entire letters sent at the soldiers 1d concession rate, the first from Inverness to "Serjt James McPherson, 92 Regt Recruiting, Thurso", the enclosed letter from Capt. McPherson of the 35 Regt sending £10 (contrary to regulations, enclosures not permitted in soldiers letters); the other from Brighton Barracks to Middlesex headed "From Thomas B. Tracy Serjeant, No. 87 Kings Dragoon Guards" and countersigned with red crowned "To be / delivered / Free". This last letter with faults including vertical fold and soiling, the Inverness letter largely fine. (2).

Soldiers 1d Rate. 1829 Entire letter written at Ardeonaig, posted from Killin to "John McEwen, Private 71 Regt, Fort Pitt, Chatham" prepaid at the 1d soldiers rate, "KILLIN" handstamp and Paid datestamps of Edinburgh and London. A fine ingoing soldiers letter, showing a considerable saving in the usual postage on a letter from Scotland to Kent.
