Nice. The one dated June 4, 1826, if I read it right, is exactly one month before
Adams & Jefferson's deaths and the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
ADD: Sorry, just saw your subject line. I assumed they were both 1826. I can't enlarge some pics on this site.

Living in Germany now. Youngest son, 17, diagnosed with leukemia early in 2017. Treated in Aberdeen initially but specialist said that, because of Brexit, drug supply could be sporadic. Moved here 2019 for son to complete chemo. One year after completion he is doing really well and is studying at University.

Thank you. So cruel to see your children suffer - and wonderful that the treatment has worked.

The first entire was posted from Lombard Street.

I'd say the 1 handstamp was applied there also.
