THE FALMOUTH PACKETS - GRENADA TO LANARK: 20 July 1788 EL (dusty & minor faults) from John Denholm, garrison surgeon at Fort George Grenada to his nephew at Lanark. Carried to England by the packet Prince William Henry departing Grenada 22 July arriving Plymouth 11 Sep. 1788. However not stamped at London until 17 Jan 1789 and Edinburgh 20 Jan. which suggests it may have gone back to Grenada and then back again as the Henry arrived once more at Falmouth 14 Jan 1789. Was it not off loaded the first time? A mystery. Cross Reference: GRENADA
