Bristol 1796, 1798 & 1830

 Here are a trio of Bristol-related items, starting with a letter from Bristol to Hull sent in 1796, with contents advising of the safe arrival of the Santa Rosa in Guernsey and that the whole of the cargo is landed in good condition.

Next, connected to the above by also having a straight line "BRISTOL" handstamp, the entire below is addressed from Bristol to Derby and bears a stright-line "THORNBURY" handstamp.  It is dated inside as the 19th July 1798. 

Finally, a letter from Bristol to London sent in May 1830 with contents relating to the  ship Eusebio.
