A few South Petherton items

Some items from South Petherton starting with a letter with enclosures from 1811 charged, I think, at the 1oz rate.

The next item was sent from South Petherton to Ilminster, about 6 miles, in June 1839.  It was charged 2d following the introduction of a 2d postal rate for up to 8 miles.

The next postcard is advertising a FAT STOCK sale due to be held on 27th May 1872.  Fat Stock is livestock that is fat and ready for market.  The postcard is addressed but has no postal markings so may well have been hand-delivered.

And finally a postcard from 1923, asking for the Land Agent at Ilminster to come and measure up the work that the thatcher has nearly completed, presumably so that he could get paid.
