Dulverton in the Tiverton Penny Post
A new acquisition is this entire with a manuscript address inside of Dulverton, with a fairly rare "TIVERTON / Penny Post" handstamp (in use 1816-1835), to Wiveliscombe. The postage was 6d, being 5d for the 18 miles from Tiverton to Wiveliscombe plus 1d for the Penny Post. The date inside is 3rd July 1825.
