This wrapper is dated in manuscript "London May twelve 1813" The double ring shows that this was an evening duty mark, morning duty had a single ring.
These letters graciously have been shared with the Victorian Web by Eunice and Ron Shanahan; they have been taken from their website. The letters give an insight into the daily lives and concerns of 'ordinary' people without whom history would not exist. The letters are a wonderful example of how much history may be gleaned from such sources.
