cover -- DEVON: 1700 (28 May) E.L. from Plymouth to "John Strachey Esq. at Sutton Court neer Chu-magna, to be left at W. Thornhills house in high street in Bristoll, Summerset", showing fine strike of the black Exeter "E" incorporating dated "MY/29" on reverse, rated "7" in manuscript on front, part of upper and side flaps missing, still a fine and attractive example of this rare marking.
