1834 GB Pre Stamp Wrapper

Thanks for all the replies , nice to realise what the cover actually is, I thought id keep posting to this thread as the next 2 covers are stampless,

so the next one I think maybe Lawton? ch382 if you have a W&J catalogue,

I can't help with the postal markings, but I can transcribe the handwriting. This time there's only one hand and one ink.

"Mr Lloyd
Atty (Attorney) at Law of Ludlow
Raven & Bell
Shrewsbury

To be delivd (delivered) to
him, immediately
and if he does not
Inn at the Raven & Bell
the Waiter is desired to
enquire for him elsewhere."

The verb "to inn", meaning to lodge at an inn, is in the Oxford English Dictionary, with a citation from 1748. I can find a few Raven and Bell Inns on the Internet, but not this one in Shrewsbury. So your cover is interesting not only for Postal History but also for Inn History.

here's the senders info

The back is more difficult than the front.

"the
15. July 1805
Mr Vickers abot (about(?))
Ticklerton Roads
and Phillips of Shrewsby (Shrewsbury)"

I'm not convinced by "about", but it looks like either "abo" or "alo" with a superscript "t", and "about" is the only word I can find that fits. I hope somebody can prove my guess wrong.

Ticklerton is a village near Shrewsbury.

Thanks for replies Pir, How's your French?

I find this cover quite fascinating,
this what I think it is and says,

Dated September 21st 1895, googling the french revolutionary calender it equate to the year 3, fifth complimentary day sent from Bordeaux.

translation
#8203;I have just received the invoice and bill of lading for a Barrel of Oil and a Case of Soap, the two articles loaded in Marseille by Citizen F. Fouques, aboard the Brigantine l'Harmonie, Captain Dejean, the whole marked {P. + S.}, addressed to me and to you, so that you may expedite the said items for Bordeaux. I beg you, Citizen, to do this as soon as possible, because I have been waiting impatiently for these goods in order to load them onto a vessel that will depart shortly for North America, and please inform me when they are shipped.

Merchant of the 8e Primaire

it gets interesting when you look at what was happening at the time, the relations between the UK, France and the Us certainly with regards to Shipping Etc,

Citizen Pierre Bouesquet was a representative on the citizens council for Beziers district and elected one of the 8 members of the directoire in 1790.

The translation also got it wrong the shipping logo is D over T?

I think it might be Newtown, Montgomeryshire.
