Taunton Red Maltese Cross February 1841 and letter on Tithes

The entire below is dated 6th February 1841 and is in the last month that the red Maltese Cross cancel was in use.  From March the cancel was in black ink.  The entire also has a "TAUNTON" double-arc dated handstamp without a code - by March a code had been introduced in the top arc.

The contents relate to the Tithe on Hops.
