| Sale number: 15 1649 Civil War naval letter from William Robinson 'from aboard the Triumph neare the Isle of Lundee, June 6th 1649' to his wife in Westminster. In 'England's Postal History' R.M. Willcocks refers to this correspondence and this letter in particular on page 12 - 'Two days later he follows this [referring to an earlier letter] with another which is one of the most important, and certainly the greatest enigma, 'I sent thee a pacquett of letters yesterday dated from Milford Haven, but this going by the Post I hope may come as soone to thee as that: if it doe, prithee send away those enclosed with speed' but this is written 'from aboard the Triumph neare the Isle of Lundee, June 6th 1649'. Later he says 'A lettr now would be dearely wellcome to mee from thee, for meethinkes it is an age since I receiv'd one'. The remainder is a charming example of a love letter showing the pious trust in God of the puritans, and emphasizes Robinson's position of friendship with Col. Fleetwood (who became Commander-in-Chief of the Parliamentary forces and married Cromwell's daughter) and Mr Speaker, and that his cousin Luke Robinson was a member of the Council of State. He speaks as if this letter was a 'first day cover' of the new post, which he expected would arrive before his letter of 4th June, yet he wrote it when out at sea. If the post ran from Milford, had they a supply ship just going in there ? The address leaf has no charge, endorsement, or other clue.' The address leaf is soiled and crumpled but a most important and historic item, probably a first day cover in a very restricted post, the first since 1642 (not until 1653 was there a normal post), and certainly the earliest known letter from Lundy Island.
