 EARLY POSTAL HISTORY, 1573-1700. VERY RARE "for carreyer vid" 6d POSTAL RATE CORSINI COVER TO LONDON WITH RED CRAYON "26" (?
WAY-BILL No.); Very fine 13 Feb. 1573 EL [in Italian] from "Echseter" (internal dated heading; also with "Da Esettere" filing note) to "Mag[ist]ri. Do[mino]. Felipo Corsini in Londra" with the bold endorsement (in a different hand) "For carreyer vid"
on the front, along with a red crayon "26" which was probably a waybill no. of the Exeter to London carrier. The letter concerns the efforts of the sender, T. Baldisare di Mafio, to recover Corsini's stolen goods and the need to offer a reward. Of
the 25 letters from Exeter in the Corsini Correspondence, only six have postal rates (3 at 4d and 3 at 6d, dating from 1573 to 1591); this is the earliest of those six. Only one earlier internal British postal rate has been recorded [Aug. 1571 to
Corsini endorsed "paye a groat" ex Dover]. Highly Important Exhibition Quality Item. [Ex RL 'Corsini' auction, 11 June 1986; lot 22, realised £900+BP. Ex Spink 16 Apr. 2010; lot 1110, realised £3,200+BP.] Cross Reference: EARLY LETTERS, EARLY

 EARLY POSTAL HISTORY, 1573-1700. VERY RARE "for the carier iiijd" 4d POSTAL RATE CORSINI COVER TO LONDON WITH RED CRAYON "26"
(? WAY-BILL No.); Very fine 13 Feb. 1573 EL [in Italian; with full typed transcription and translation] from "Echseter" (internal dated heading) to "Mag[istri]. D[omino]. Felipo Corsini in Londra" with the clear endorsement (in a different hand) "For
the carier iiijd" [4d] on the front, along with a red crayon "26" which was probably a waybill no. of the Exeter to London carrier. The letter concerns the efforts of the sender, T. Baldisare di Mafio, to recover Corsini's stolen goods and lists 14
prime suspects who have apparently been handling the stolen casks of sugar or salted herrings. Of the 25 letters from Exeter in the Corsini Correspondence, only six have postal rates (3 at 4d and 3 at 6d, dating from 1573 to 1591). Only two earlier
internal British postal rates has been recorded [Aug. 1571 to Corsini endorsed "paye a groat" ex Dover, and the previous lot]. Important Exhibition Quality Item. [With copy of JG-T's 1985 article about this cover's discovery; it had been described as
being from Antwerp in the RL 1984 Corsini auction.] [Ex RL 'Corsini' auction, 4 Sep. 1984; overlooked in group lot 193, which realised £113 inc.BP. Subsequently ex James Grimwood-Taylor, and Arian Almond.] Cross Reference: EARLY LETTERS, EARLY

2nd-earliest recorded post-Great Fire Bishop Mark (an "OC/19" example on a cover from Dublin has recently been found). The long interesting contents include; "...the sickness [Plague]is very sad at Norwich, still 225 last week of all. The Coaches

 EARLY POSTAL HISTORY, 1573-1700. CREDITON "1666" LETTER AT 3d RATE TO LONDON WITH "IA/28" BISHOP MARK; 26 Jan. "1666" EL
(minor creasing and internal wear) from "Westwood" (a property on the edge of Crediton; unsigned but in the distinctive cramped hand of Simon Snow addressed "To Mr. Thomas Pengelly at Mr. Angiers neare ye Pumpe in Bpsgate Street, London" and charged
"3" with a partly fine London "IA/28" arrival Bishop Mark nicely placed on the side-flap. It seems more likely that this letter was written in January 166/7, because Pengelly's address in London had changed, as per the contents of the previous lot
(Bishopsgate escaped the fire whereas most of Fenchurch Street was burned); but if January 1667 then it was actually dated closer to the Great Fire than if it had been 1666. [Ex Peter Burden, Cavendish 7 Mar. 2013; lot 1254; realised £260+BP.]
