RARE PAIR OF PRINTED "Par. Pro./To be posted at the House of Commons only./POST PAID" WRAPPERS; 27 Apr. 1853 blued paper complete open-ended wrapper (some toning and edge creases) sent from London to Haddington with this rare printed heading but also with ms "1d" and a red crowned Official "PAID" cds on the front [illustrated in BPPP, p.57.]. Plus a matching c.1861 wrapper without postal marks (they may have been struck on the printed contents originally sticking out at one side) intriguingly doubly addressed (presumably by his London Secretary) to; "Sir R.A. Cross" to Manchester "up to a.m. on Tuesday" and also to his home "Eccle Riggs, Broughton in Furness" if "after Tuesday". Rare and interesting pair; fronts are much commoner than complete wrappers such as these. (2 covers) Cross Reference: PARLIAMENTARY MAIL, OFFICIAL MAIL
