Two examples of the art of cross writing to save money on Victorian postal costs.
The writer of one I believe is a William with an address of 77 St Paul's Churchyard London in 1870
This commences with a "My dear Fred" so I can assume that the recipient was Frederick H Fisher of Woodbridge.
There is a person of that name known but he was born in 1865 at Woodbridge, and I doubt could have taken on the unenviable task of understanding such heavy cross writing as in this letter. I think this belongs with the cover.
The other is from a John Catchpole of Woodbridge in 1873, this time just addressed "Dear friend", I think there's mention of a Miss Switchell or possibly Mitchell.
Where I have provided no additional information on the item it is because I can find no identifying features to suggest where it has come from or what was the original format.
In condition shown, please see photos provided as best description, zoom is enabled for best viewing.
Always happy to provide additional if requested.
I post all paper items protected and in proper card backed envelopes.
If I have quoted a parcel postage price it is because I can't send it flat any other way without adding new folds, which I won't do.
I will combine postage when I can, please request an invoice from me if UK buyer.
If non-UK, I only ship internationally using GSP, they will provide you with a combined postage invoice, but can't do so after a payment has already been made. Please await their invoice if you want combined shipping.
