Eunice and Ron Shanahan have shared with readers of the Victorian Web this material from their website, Letters from the Past. Click on thumbnails for larger images.
This letter is addressed to The Revd. John Prowett, Catfield and is dated inside Norwich October 23d. However, he must have taken his letter to the post office after the closing time, because the envelope (left) shows the single-arc Norwich datestamp of the next day OC 24 1837.
