cover 1665 (31 Aug.) E.L. to Bradhurst, Chatham "Leave this at Mr. Tobias Battells, at the sine of the Ship in Chattham to be sent as above mentioned", with manuscript "2" charge; apparently from London, the context concerning the "Sicknesse" (plague) and referring to the "bill of Mortality" (the periodic list of fatalities). Very attractive address panel; mail at this period is (for obvious reasons) rare. Typed transcript enclosed. Photo
