Hi All,
We have a letter dated 3rd December 1838 addressed to Queen Square in London.
and a scan of the second page is attached.
It is headed 'Stanley Copy A/C' and we are curious about the lines drawn down the
whole page.
The text seems to be some sort of memorandum to himself.
Would the lines be used because it is a copy and he does not want it to be used by
anyone else?
We have hundreds of old letters but have not come across this before.
It could be of course that he was a bit of a tight wad and used paper that had
already been defaced
Has anyone seen anything like this or have any ideas?
As a matter of interest, the paper also has a watermark we have not come across
before
'John Dinwidney'
Regards to all
Eunice and Ron
