England, 1843 – folded letter from London to Spalding, Lincolnshire, franked with two 1d Red stamps (lettered P I and Q A, Plates 36 and 39, SG 8 and SG 12f). Both stamps cancelled by Maltese Crosses with ‘2’ at center, indicating London GPO usage. Reverse shows black single-ring datestamp “Z / JU 10 / 1843” and greenish Spalding arrival mark “JU 20 1843.” Use of two 1d Reds suggests a heavier or multi-rate letter. Clean early Victorian cover, stamps intact with clear corner lettering, well-struck numeral Maltese Cross cancels, catalog value £550; comparable 2025 sales realized £500–£600.
