1799 (July 24) Entire letter from London to Clement Tudway MP at Sir Richard Hills house in Whitchurch, with two superb strikes of the experimental datestamp with "FREE" above a dotted circle containing a crown and the date, one unusually applied on the reverse. The first day of use of this datestamp, replacing the previous experimental type which had diamonds under the circle (and is also known used on this same day, July 24th). Exceptional quality and a unique first day use, only recorded for three months. Photo on Page 28.
