 1839 (Feb 1): Official entire letter from 'River Murray' to Sydney endorsed O.H.M.S. at top,
addressed to the Postmaster General (James Raymond), struck with fine circular "YASS / NSW / POST OFFICE" and framed "FREE" handstamps in black. The entire with fascinating contents: "We the undersigned deeply interested in the communication by mail
from Sydney and Melbourne with this part of the interior (request) a Bag to be made up at the aforesaid places to this River. We would suggest that Mr. Brown, the present sub-contractor for the Mail between this and the River Golblourne residing at
the crossing place on this River (now Albury) on the main road should be appointed Postmaster. We are the more induced to urge the neccessity of this bag as the non commissioned Officer in charge of the Mounted Police here is unable to receive
instructions from Headquarters unless by a special messenger. The present method of sending letters by the mail being a far too uncertain conveyance". One of the nine petitioners and signatories to the letter was Joseph Hawdon who was subsequently
awarded the contract for the first Overland mail from Yass to Melbourne. Some internal tape for protection but a rare and important entire.rn (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)

sheet of thirty-eight stamps presented to Sir Daniel Cooper (1821-1902), first Baronet of Woollahra, speaker of the Legislative Assembly of NSW, he returned to Great Britain in 1861 (all former describers of this block have stated he was Governor of
NSW (untrue) and that the manuscript endorsement is 1870 - this was not possible and it clearly reads '60). He became President of 'The Philatelic Society, London' and was chair of the original meeting on 10 April 1869; this society being the
forerunner of today's Royal Philatelic Society. He gave the very first lecture to the society on 29 May 1869 on "The earliest Sydney stamps and on Proofs of the Sydney Views". The original block of 38 was cut between 1968 and 1973 by John R. Boker
leaving this left hand block of fifteen as the largest multiple and showing a large part of the fourth vertical row, and a block of ten (2 x 5) from the fifth and sixth vertical rows which later appeared in Corinphila sale 58 on May 1975 (lot 6001),
