Parochial Returns. 1811-31 Letters from the Archbishiop of York to Freeling (2), and 1831 "Parochial Return, F. Freeling" printed lettersheet posted from London to The Lord Bishop of Lichfield & Coventry at Strafford with red crowned circular "To be / delivered / Free". An 1811 letter states the Bishop has received so many Parochial Returns he will have to return them to the Post Office if he has to pay for them; Lord Chichester advises he should withhold payment and give details to the Letter Carrier on appropriate forms. An 1821 letter states large numbers of population returns received are charged as above number; the Bishop will act on the spirit of the relief afforded by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and sign a receipt for the charge. An interesting group. (3).
