cover 1790 (13 Jan.) entire letter addressed to Captain Elphinston in London (later to become Viscount Keith, the well-known Admiral, who was involved in mediating with Napoleon Bonaparte relative to his exile on St. Helena), showing fair strike of the black "NEWARK" (two years earlier than recorded by Willcocks) overstruck by faint "FREE" and showing manuscript rate mark crossed through, the letter content being an itemised bill which includes "Paid for a Post Horse to Scarthingmore" and "Paid for a Post Horse to Nottingham and back"; traces of soiling but otherwise fine and most interesting
