A letter written in Bristol, evidenced by a scarce feint Bristol handstamp
(shown below), on 2nct December 1738 by Graffin Prinkard addressed to
Caleb Dickinson at the Pensilvania Coffee House, Birchin Lane where it
arrived on the 4th which opens "Respected Son" which may indicate that
the addressee was only taking delivery of the letter. There is a second
letter within written to Sally which signs off"Thy affectionate Mother
S.P." confirming that both parents were writing to both children. The
letter was charged at 1/4d handwritten as 1N4.
