cover TL, large margins, on neat envelope (with original contents) dated 21 May 1840 used locally in London from Lord Abercromby (complete red way seal on reverse) to James Mackirdy, tied by very neat red Cross and black straight-line "Charing Cross"; the adhesive with light bends from enclosure and two small surface scuffs but in no way detracting from the fine appearance.
