Enigmas and a Missing Gelding in Ipswich Notice
An 18th century notice bundle offers a pamphlet list and health claims for waters from Bath and Pyrmont, plus a stolen horse alert linked to Ipswich. It details a black gelding valued for health travel, alleged theft, and a reward for recovery. Also included are descriptions of a woman accused of a Coventry kidnapping attempt and a likely con artist, with names and locations across Durham, Surrey, and Coventry. The item blends notices of sale, theft, and public alerts with health pamphlets and a call for information.
