Taunton Penny Post - unboxed "No.7"

Washford became a Receiving House in the reorganisation of the Taunton Penny Post and had the unboxed "No.7" handstamp.  The examples below are from 1829 to 1842 - it is one of the more common Receiving House handstamps !  I wish all the letters were written as clearly as the first example - the writing pictured below covered the whole of the sheet.








The entire below does not appear to have a "No.7" handstamp but went through the Taunton Penny Post and was written in Washford.
