Reverse, displaying well on flap, with Bishop Mark of receipt "11/FE" in black. Reverse with manuscript docketing "Paid 2 pounds 5s. 3d." presumably the total for all the mail received by Thomas Penn on that day.rnrnNote: Thomas Penn, 1702-1775, son of the founder of the province of Pennsylvania, returned to England in 1751, head of the Penn family which owned nearly two thirds of modern Pennsylvania and Delaware.

    Seven Years War 1759 (July 31): Entire letter written by Major Mungo Campbell from Ticonderoga to Inverary via Edinburgh, Scotland with fascinating contents written just two days after the Battle of Ticonderoga (Fort Carillon): "The French deserted this place so soon as we got up our Batteries & then our Artillery played. They might have made victory dear to us. All your friends are perfectly well our success has been rapid, our expectations are sanguine and you may probably soon hear from us from Montreal at which place, or rather St. John, halfway to it, it is thought the French will make the first stand and that they will abandon Crown Point in the same hasty manner they evacuated this place on a few days at most: speedy preparations are making to embark on Lake Champlain...we are now preparing a salad from the gardens of Ticonderoga. Ware in high spirits only now and then the thoughts of an approaching peace and half pay damps us...", The cover is rated '2/11d.' to pay in manuscript (1s. to New York, 1s. Packet rate to Falmouth + 11d. inland postage) with Bishop Mark on reverse "8/SE" of receipt. Two small closed opening tears at top but an extremely historic and rare entire.rnrnNote: General Sir Jeffery Amherst moved artillery to high ground overlooking Fort Carillon (Ticonderoga), which was latterly defended by a garrison of 400 Frenchmen under the command of Brigadier General François-Charles de Bourlamaque, many troops having already been sent North towards Montreal. Upon the French evacuation of the Fort after their attempt to blow it up, it was renamed and Amherst's forces began the repair of the Fort and boat building on Lake Champlain.

    1769 (Aug 27): Entire letter from London to Governor Grant of St. Augustine, Florida via Charles Town, North Carolina. rated "1N" (1 shilling) for the Packet rate and struck on despatch with Bishop Mark "6/SE" in brown. Very fine strike of the two line "CHARLES / TOWN" handstamp in black applied on entry, and thence forwarded on to St. Augustine. A superb and very rare entire that displays well.rnrnNote: In 1768, at the insistence of Governor Grant of Florida, a mail service was established between Charles Town and St. Augustine by Post Rider via Savannah and Sunbury. The journey took a fortnight in each direction and was discontinued after a few years.rnrnThe letter has fascinating chatty content including the "elopement of Lord Albemarle's Mistress...he had laid out £8'000 on her and the town say had made handsome provision for her in case of his death" and "being (Robert) Clive's friends they asked the Government to assist them in the Persian Gulph where Pirates had destroyed their trade..." and "The Duke of Norfolk is to be married to Miss Fitzroy Scudamore with near 6'000 a year..." (she later became insane and was locked away for many years).

Rare.rnrnNote: The original letter was written from Annapolis (a photocopy is with the lot), with Chase asking for a Pocket Almanack and a blank small memorandum book, preferably to be delivered direct and not to the Coffee House as they would be "taken away by some idle person or other".rnProvenance: R.

    Congress Post 1775 (July 1): Entire letter from Philadelphia via Willamsburg to Robert Carter at Nomony Hall, Westmoreland County, Virginia, rated at top in red manuscript "ON10" (10d.) prepaid, with reverse showing "PHILA. JULY 4" despatch handstamp in red across flap and superb strike of "WMS. BURG / JULY 15" arrival in red-brown ink: either the latest recorded strike of the British Colonial handstamp or the first under Benjamin Franklin's appointment as Postmaster General of the United Colonies. A marvellous entire of great historical importance.rnrnNote: The addressee, Robert Carter of Nomony (Nomoni) Hall, was a lawyer and whilst he gave tacit support during the War of Independence, he was later one of very few Plantation owners to free all his 500+ slaves in 1788. The letter, written by Richard Henry Lee (1732-1794) was a member of the First Congress and signer of the Declaration of Independence which he himself first proposed in June 1776, is interesting: "It seems indeed as if Lord Dunmore was taking true pains to incut the censure of the whole reasonable world, conceiving I suppose, that it is the most likely way to please his Masters in the Administration. The enclosed printed hand-bill will give you an account of a very bloody engagement between a detachment of the Continental Army and the Ministerial Forces from Boston. Our enemies are compelled to remain under cover of their Ship's Cannon. Should they come out we have 15'000 men under command of Generals Washington, Ward, Lee, Putnam and others ready to give a good account. The Ministerial plan against New York we shall oppose with 5'000 men under the immediate command of General Schuyler. The Canadians have peremptorily refused to join Govr. Carleton and when he has warmly solicited the Indians to take up the hatchet against us, they tell him 'it is buried too deep, they cannot find it'. To us they promise a strict neutrality. Things being thus secured where our enemies proposed to make the deepest impression it remains with us in the middle and southern colonies to take care that the appreciation be faithfully observed...we hear that 13 Transports are arrived at N. York with about 2'000 soldiers, and on their being ordered round to Boston they mutiny and swear they will not go there to fight against their friends. General Howe who commanded the Ministerial Troops in the late battle, we have good accounts is dead of his wounds. He was by much the best Officer they had....Congress will I fear, sit a great part of the summer. Business inroads fast upon us and the public here seems unwilling we should get up before it is known how the Battle of Lexington was received in England...".
