Mr Rutter went to great pains to decipher the near illegible handwriting and type them. Unfortunately because of lack of space I was unable to reproduce his contribution until now - my apologies. There are letters for the period 11 December 1824 to March 1826 describing his journey through Italy-Sicily-Malta-Egypt-Syria. I am publishing four letters written by H. Crompton, three written on the 2nd March 1825 to his father Joshua Crompton, one to his sister Miss Crompton while in Malta and one from Alexandria written on the 20th March to his brother Robert.

Scottish 1/2 road tax marks. Land's end cachets Abstract: Mr Bob Rostron and his wife Jackie are regular visitors to Malta during the winter months. He retired from business management a few years ago, is a keen Philatelist and Postal Historian, being a Past President of the Merseyside and St Helen Philatelic Societies, and a member of several others. These days travel takes up much of his time, and as usual, he brought material to work on, during his winter holiday in Malta this year. Mr Rostron has given talks to our Society in previous years, his latest being on the 5th February this year, but this feature concerns only his lecture cum display on the 1st February 1999, which was delivered in three sections as described below.
