Postal History
1774 (19 July) entire letter from Elizabeth Stuart in Bridge Street, Dublin, locally addressed to John Hatch at "Stephinsgreen", the address panel showing a very fine strike of the black "J 19 A", the lower flap with a superb strike of the black Dublin Dockwra "penny/post/paid/no/1"; the letter being a desperate plea to the addressee for charity for her "six pore neackid Children". A wonderful strike of this great Irish rarity, possibly the finest known and opening out perfectly for display. Photo
