Then a full circle handstamp - I have a number of examples of this handstamp, upwards of two dozen ! They are all from the courtship of Miss Frances Oliver of Bath by William Leigh of Bardon, near Taunton in 1797. Some of the entires I have were sent every day or up to three a week. They were married by 1798 as a letter in September 1798 addressed to "Mrs W. Leigh" evidences. Here is an example of the handstamp, not part of that correspondence.
