The entire below is from Woollard, about a mile from Pensford where the receiving house used a "No.14" handstamp. It went to Bath so was a "short" letter, one that did not go in the General Post.

Bath 1769 and 1833
This first, somewhat damaged, cover has a "BATH" straight-line handstamp, SO 54, that is known in use 1768-1769. Bath used a series of similar straight line handstamps, distinguishable by their size and serifs (easier using enlarged scanned images).
