Dated June 20th according to the Julian calendar then in use in Britain and Ireland, equivalent to June 30th Gregorian, only days before the battle fought on July 1st Julian (July 11th Gregorian). Possibly an original enclosure or, if not, a contemporary copy made in August 1690. A fascinating historical document directly associated with one of the defining events of Irish history, additionally providing an important illustration of the Julian/Gregorian dating conventions encountered in early Irish postal-history research.

The entire document pertaining to the creditors of Thomas Dillon. An attractive showpiece pair, unrecorded by Feldman & Kane. Note: The numerous fraudulently franked 18th-century letters addressed to Dillon & Co. suggest the firm encouraged correspondents to evade postal charges, which otherwise fell upon the recipient. Such practices perhaps reflect its questionable business conduct: around 1760 Dillon & Co. absconded, reportedly leaving numerous unpaid or “burnt” creditors behind.
