Summary: This page contains two letters from February 1853. The first, from J B Bacon & Co to Rowland Hill, discusses a delayed response regarding a tampered stamp and measures to prevent forgery. The second, from Perkins Bacon & Co (signed by James Meary) to Barber & Co and Sheffield Banking Co., informs them about sending notes to the Stamp Office and a delay in sending £5 notes due to the absence of Mr. James.
